Orangery

This wonderful Orangery of Hans Meier was given to me and I had the joy to fill it with wicker furniture and plants ,which I had created for this scene.

Summer breeze with fuchsias

           For the summer I finished some window boxes with fuchsias and other flowers around

Chapel for a funeral service

I have built this chapel in commission to show the scene of a funeral service.
The furniture is made by Stockton Miniatures and the candelabra are made by Jose Garcia Molano.

For the arrangement on the coffin I have used hydrangeas, phalaenopsis, callas,roses and hibiscus blossoms.

An unusual theme ,but it was tempting to make this in miniature.

Spring flowers

Time is running and we are going to have spring :-) That inspired me to go on with making spring and early summer flowers .

I decorated a wicker basket of Genziana Belle'  with roses,peonies,lavender and lilies of the valley

A larger project was this fountain , made by Hans Meier. It is filled with hydrangeas and I made a field full of all all the spring flowers around it . Here you see the fountain complete

                                       And here are closer pics from the field of flowers around it

                                                        A vase filled with lilies of the valley

                         At least a little pot of  Forget-me-not as a sign for the first flowers in spring

Wisteria

I like to start the new year with a new plant in my collection. The wisteria is something which I wanted to do for quiet some time now. I now finished it and it is already planted at the house of a customer :-)

Merry Christmas

        

      Wishing all my friends a MerryChristmas  

                         and a peaceful time  xx

Things I have done in the last time

One unique project was this lilac tree. It took me a long time to finish it and because there are laser cuts,every green leaf is cut by hand . I made it in a size of 6 inch with a diameter 4,8 inch,so that it is suitable to every house or garden. The right place to feel good after a long day ;-)

 This Portuguese patio was another challenge for me. It should be overgrown with plants of this region, but of course the wonderful tiles shouldn't be eclipsed . So I choose a large bougainvillea,a passion flower, oleander in different colors and a hibiscus. A large bouquet with roses loosen up the long front and in the fountain I put some water lilies in pastel yellow.
The patio was build by Karin Caspar, tiles are made by Tiny Ceramics. Stucco are made by Sue Cook and the wonderful iron worked things are by Jose Garcia Molano.

Linda's Cake Creations

It’s a long time ago, that I have written in my blog. But the summer was filled with such a fine weather , that I spend much time outside.
 In the last three weeks I finished a project of mine, which is my juwel at the moment :-) I love collecting miniature food, especially from my miniature friend Linda Cummings . So after a long time it was possible for her to make all the cakes and different cupcakes for me. I  built the café and repainted the furniture into a shabby look. The tables and chairs are from Jose Garcia Molano. At the show in Rheda Julie Campbell and Jain Squires suprised me with these wonderful dolls . Julie has made the wonderful ladies and Jain the waiter. He is a very funny character figure ,like all her creations.  I love how he bored listening to the themes the ladies  :-)
Here are the photos of the café, I hope you enjoy it to look at them !

Garden shed

A complete planted cottage in teamwork with my friend Karin Caspar . Like in all our projects, that we do together, Karin build the house with the external and I make the flowers around. 
The interior is also made by Karin. We had much fun by doing this project ,I hope you enjoy the photos ;-)
