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 :-) !

Hairdresser's shop


Since working at my flowers ,I have made a hairdresser's shop for a doll ,that Cornelia Köhler made . I bought the box in Rheda and made a modern shop . I put LED light inside, so you have a good insight also with the front before .
You see, it's just at the beginning , but everything takes a while :-) . The furniture is bought by Delph Miniatures ,I really like their assortment . The palms just stand there until I have made enough decoration like posters and everything what makes a modern Hairdresser's shop.
I made the pillars out of plexiglass and marbled them with acrylic colors .
Here will be the place for the man ,maybe someone who will be shaved ?!
Here you see Dany closer ,I really love that doll .Like always Cornelia did a marvelous job . He will dress a funky girl .

For Karin :-)

Just for fun I made a spooky flower for Karin's little candy shop . I put some dandelion around ,that it looks more real :-)) . Think that's far away from reality and really far away from flowers I normally make . So now I'm curious Karin ,how you will arrange it and I hope you'll like it .

A picture taken in the evening , it looks more spooky :-))

Crooked House is ready planted



Now Jutta and I just finished her lovely Crooked House ,which she has built last year in the workshop with Rik Pierce .
I have shown you already different photos of this project, but now we have completed it . At the door we planted the arrangement with hollyhocks and delphinium ,an owl of Irmgard is sitting on the gatepost. All the other animals are also made by Irmgard .
In the flower-bed we added the columbine and set a hosta to finish the bed .
I really love that house and I'm a little bit envious ,because I never have the time ,to complete my own house ! But sometime maybe ;-) ...

Magical things decorated with flowers

Spider mums with an open book
Tansy loosely added to a witch book
Some herbs at the stove,ready for the mixture of the witch in her kitchen . The basket with apples and worms are from Kiva !

A withered rose grows out of the book ,perhaps a wrong spell :-) !

These are just some ideas of Karin and me how to team magical books or bundles together with flowers and herbs . I like it, because it brings life in the dark side of mysticism :-) !
