FLOWERS & PLANTS : Geraniums, Roses and more

Hi there

We had 4 days of real shitty weather here ..... what else could a hobby miniaturist ask for 😄

I have worked a lot on my current project, the garden cottage, over the past few days. I wanted to share a few pics with you all, but it's late and I'm about to go to bed, so please forgive me if my comments are a bit short ... I'm tired and I gotta get up at 6:00 😖😖 but I will add more detailed comments tomorrow

Here's my first try at making geraniums, thanks to a tutorial by Kris Compas which she kindly shared on her blog (www.1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com) ... she is sooooo very talented and has a lot of tutorials on her blog, please check it out, it's more than worth the detour

For a first try, I think I did OK 😊😊

Paper roses

I think the easiest way to make roses is to punch out simple circles and use a paper that is not too stiff, like tissue paper f.ex.

Climbing roses on a trellis

I made the trellis and the roses myself, used a little aquarium greenery 

and flower soft to add the leaves

hm, just realize I don't know the name of this one

UPS

😹😹😹

Of course you can also buy loose flowers and make your own arrangements

Just add some greenery and a few flowers you purchased

this one's from a kit ..... not yet finished in this picture though, need to give it a coat of darker green

Flowers purchases in a dollhouse shop, neatly arranged in a vase

Silk flowers and aquarium greenery

A fern I made with a punch

Dried flowers, greenery, colored stamens

A good thing to gather some more ideas is to look inside special garden magazines or just go to your local florist and take a good look aroud the shop

There's no limit here to make your own creations

See ya
