Bougainvillea

Today I have finished a rambling Bougainvillea at a trellis of Hans Meier. Something new under my flowers ,so it took a long time of trying out how to do. I hope you like it :-)

Natural looking grass

This is a post  to the question from Catherine how to make this natural looking grass. The secret is static grass . The designing of a landscape is very time consuming and the material not cheap, but if you do it often the investment worth every cent. To show you how to ,I give you this link .

But if you search in Google with the terms : static grass model railways you will find many more.

The picture of this Irish hut shows you the possibilities . It makes much fun,because you have different colors of grass .You can add weeds,wild grass and other things you like between the landscape,so it will never look boring. Naturally like in real size .

Fruits in the garden

                                                             Blackberry bush

                                                             Raspberry bush

                                                           Wood strawberry field

This was a teamwork of Carmen Sitter and me. Everything is now arranged in a garden scene by Angie Spring with her beautiful dolls, who added also many flowers of me here and there.

Art Deco

After long studies about the era of Art Deco,I finished this commission work. I had to learn the style of design,the flowers which they used in this time . It wasn't easy ,because mostly I arrange flowers casual . In this era every placement of a flower has to be well thought out and calculated. On the other hand, I am glad about this new knowledge ,so that I now know how to do this style if any one ever wants a modern/contemporary flower arrangement.

Published and a review at the show 1zu12 in Germany

It's one month ago, that we had the wonderful show 1zu12 here in Germany . Like always it was filled with great artisans and I enjoyed the two days there as an exhibitor.  I was really glad, when I received the German Magazine 1zu12  and the Spanish Miniaturas . Both magazines published my flowers and special show displays .
Here are some photos of these two magazines

This was my special show display. A wagon of Hans Meier , filled with different kind of flower arrangements . As a memory, I combined it with dolls of my friend Cornelia Koehler. She passed away in April this year .

  A mix of flowers and the terrace in teamwork with Alexandra Cantatore and Pierluigi Pirovano 

                                          The terrace also on the cover of the Spanish Miniaturas :-)

1zu12 Miniature Fair

Everything is packed and I'm now off to the Miniature fair "1zu12" in Rheda-Wiedenbrueck

I hope to see many off you and will be glad for everyone,who just come along to say Hello :-)

This patio for the fair was made in teamwork together with my friends Alexandra Cantatore and Pierluigi Pirovano

Fountain

I have made something new in teamwork with Hans Meier, who made these beautiful fountains with iron trellis for me . They look wonderful, for example like shown here, with roses and hydrangeas.

Publication of my Spanish kitchen

              This month my Spanish kitchen is published in the Miniaturas . Again many
                thanks to the lovely Madelva for her great work, she is doing with the magazine.

Flowers at trellis

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter and little bit of sunshine . It won't come here in Germany, but nothing will prevent me to make flowers in miniature :-) ! I started a new collection with some trellis in different forms, made by Hans Meier . You can see all these flowers at the show in Rheda 1zu12.

I'm busy working

While it is still snowing outside and it's really cold, I try to bring a breath of summer on my work table. I'm very busy working, because I'm already working for the show in the beginning of June in Rheda . Time is flying every year and I hope , that I will manage it this year, that I don't bustling around like every year . Haha, I don't believe in that ! Here are some news I have made during the last weeks : Some mixed flowers for the garden like the red geraniums and the dame's violet. A bunch of spider mums .

                                    Here is a new fan palm ,which fits wonderful in an entrance hall.

 And a little lemon tree. I made it now high,like in the past. It is only 7cm high , including the pot. So it can be used in a kitchen scene or at the terrace . The little garden accessories made by my friend Alexandra Cantatore

An apple tree can also be a wonderful playground

I have made this apple tree .Wonderful to play with children ,can you see the swing :-) The outdoor scene was built by Karin Caspar . Also a little bird takes a rest in the birdhouse. Perhaps he is looking ,what the painter is doing ?! The bird by Irmgard Gritzan and doll is made by Cornelia Koehler

Again published in the Spanish Miniaturas

I hope, you all had a good start into the new year !
 I have seen many of you already have made   wonderful things. I know,it is a long time ago,since I posted something. But be sure,I read your posts and enjoy what you do !!!

Today for me it is a special day.  Madelva Fernandez published my work again in the Miniaturas . She is a very nice person and  motivated with everything, what the miniature scene concerns.  I feel very honored, to be a part of the magazine this month .
