Herbs

A mediterranean balcony is unimaginable without herbs, so I made a chive and a lemon balm. The stems of the lemon balm are fishing line (my father's stuff). I have to refine my method, the fishing line peeks out in many places. But I  contented with the leaves. I've forgot to mention, I use fimo for the plants.
The planters were made of a broken pen tube. Perhaps I will make a sage or a rosmary, but  I have only six days to finish this gift.

A good weekend

This weekend was great and fruitful except that the weather was dirty. It has been raining for about two weeks, my mood is increasingly gloomy, the garden is a puddle, weeds are happy! I feel like living in India in monsoon! But I have plenty of time to make minis!
Even the beginning was wonderful being one of the three winners of Nina's giveaway on http://tudordollhouse.blogspot.com/. This was the first time in my life winning anything. Nina's miniatures are perfect! Thank you, Nina!
And I made some objects for the room. The windows are ready, but I have no any plexi at home, so these are only the frames.

I tried to furnish the radiator with some fittings, but I'm not competent in plumbing. Does it look like a radiator?


Yesterday I've found a blog with fantastic miniature plants (http://rosyanneg.blog81.fc2.com/) and I had to make a hyacinth! I'm very contented with the result. Ok, I know a real hyacinth flower has six joined petals, and I made only four of them, but it was the maximum my eyes and my hands could tackle with. All along I thought if I sneeze all of my work would be over.


Making miniatures is contagious! This is a mug with coffee my eldest daughter made me. Am I look tired?


And the best minis I've ever made: Sára (5), Kata (7) and Dóri(3) - from left to right.


I send these Geraniums from my garden to my new followers! I'm happy you are here!

Paper again!

I've spent the last two days with working with paper again. Paper is a very thankful material.
I've seen beautiful tin plant holders in a webshop, and I fell in love with them. And what's the perfect material for imitating thin tin plate? The plants were made of paper, too. The details are not the same as of the original plants, but the effect is the matter. The gift bag was an experiment and it's ok for the room.



When I made the present for my mother, I've already try the paper weaving and I liked it. So I took this technique for the laundry basket. (It would peek from behind the folding screen!) It took me a long good movie to make only the weaving!

I've new followers again! It's amazing! I send these anemones and columbines from my garden to you and to all of my followers of course!

New tiny things

I'm in a waiting position. I've ordered some stuff for the roombox (wood, carton, glue), and the delivering is very very slow. So for the meantime I busy myself with making tiny things. Am I the only one who make the accessories at first and the roombox itself at last?

So I brought myself to do a plant: an Aglaonema. I'm satisfied with the result, so I will make other plants for the scene. The magazine stand and the kleenex box are for the Lady's room, too.

I want to make so many objects, and it's so irritating waiting for the package!



I send these irises and lilacs from my garden to my new followers! Thank you for following my blog!
