A gift for a special friend

This is a gift for a special friend of mine.
The idea for the design of the columbine didn't come from me. I've reworked it after a painting by Albrecht Duerer.

Water plants

Water lilies in summer and water lilies in autumn

At the moment I'm making different water plants. It's bad to make a photo because I don't plant them in the water by myself . The plants are for the members of the Rik Pierce class " Fair Rosemund Bower " next week here in Germany. Like every year Karin Caspar is the organizer of this great event. I hope everybody will have much fun and I like to see photos ,buddies :-))

Rambler rose

Just finished this rose in pastel pink. At the moment I'm inspired of all the wonderful things in shabby chic and so I made the rose consistent with these colors.

Wall with climbing ivy

It's just a simple ivy, but I like these plant climbing at walls. For me it is decorative like a blooming plant.

A new rose

Thank you all for your best wishes, like you see,it helped me a lot and my arm is better :-) ! So I was busy and made this climbing rose,which has very tiny blossoms against all the other roses I usually make. I have this sort of rose new in my real garden and I love her, cause it is a sea of flowers. So I started to make it in miniature and I put 47 blossoms at it. You see, I also changed the geranium pot and add some frankincense . I think so the geraniums look more loose.

New plants for the fair " Schöne kleine Welt "

Being a bad blogger the last time, but I have a inflammation in forearm and it hurts a lot . So I avoid to be on the computer and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to comment all the beautiful things you have made in the last time. Making some miniatures is also very difficult, but I use my time as much as I can. Cause I have a fair in three weeks here in Giessen , " Schoene kleine Welt " , and I can't go there with an empty table :-( !
I like to show you this hanging basket with pastel fuchsias in soft yellow with rose I have made.



On the other side of my display for the table I made these geraniums in a pot for the wall.
I think I will add some soft pink roses and an ivy to this.
Hope to be an active blogger in the next time :-) !

Please don't make this mistake

This will be a longer post, but perhaps it is useful for some you . I have made this monastery garden two years ago together with Karin for a customer . It took a long time after planing, building and planting and we were very proud . So but I have made the mistake, to trust a new material which came out in our shop for model railway . It was called " Moss for glade " , a product of Busch ( a German company ). What I didn't know, that it was a natural building material !
This is the result after two years , the whole grass looks sere and withered ! So that's why made these photos today, please don't take natural material for miniature garden. It is only for a short time , after that you can cast it away . As I saw this by my customer, I took the garden and promised to refresh it completely. Fortunately he is also a good friend and he wasn't angry about that what happened .
And this was my day : I put every flower out of the garden and deleted the whole grass with a scraper and a cutter knife . After that I put on a coat from my wallpaper waste and put new grass from woodland scenic on it. And after hours of setting all the flowers on the right place , the whole thing was restored :-) ! I have made some pictures , although I hadn't daylight, but I'm so lucky now and show you them .

Chinese laterne plant

I have made these Chinese laterne plant in commission and it really drives me crazy. It was very difficult to build the flowers out of paper, but somehow I made it :-) !

New Pictures of the hairdresser's shop

I have been busy making accessories for the hairdresser's shop , because it looked so naked. So while waiting for the next dolls of Cornelia I put all the other things inside. Even not everything is finish, but now Dani will feel more comfortable :-) !
