A garden for Solly and Kitty (Part 3)

 Hello dear readers,

As I mentioned before, this project is a slow-go one.  Making tiny-tiny star flower cushions is time-consuming. especially when they refuse to stick to the foam cushions. Using the smallest 6-flower shapes punch I own, I punched out hundreds of tiny flowers from thin colored paper, then I shaped them one by one. This is how they look at the end.  I have not glued the cushions to the grass circle.  I find this one too large for the small garden.  I'll make a smaller one and see if it's better.

  

 

The windows are finally fixed permanently on the walls.

The two new window boxes are out of popsicle sticks with a piece of metal jewelry finding decoration.

Still to make a bench and many more other flowers,  The fence in the photo will be replaced by another much higher one.

Hoping to be able to show more progress next post, I wish you all, dear readers and friends, a lovely spring weekend with blessings.

A garden for Solly and Kitty (Part 2)

 Hello dear readers

Since the outdoor walls of the two homes will be part of the garden, I decided to make a faux window facing the garden for each home.  I made 2 identical windows for each home one for indoors and the other for outside. It involved sawing pieces of wood strips, a job that I try to avoid, and the result is not perfect, but good enough for these humble structures.

For the windows' flower boxes, I followed my own pansies tutorial, https://drorasminimundo.blogspot.com/2017/03/pansies-tutorial.html but needed a smaller butterfly punch which I was unable to find, so I used instead a 1/24" Punch Bunch leaf one that makes a reasonable butterfly if you cut the tiny piece that connexed the leaf to the branch.

The box is made out of one popsicle stick and a piece of metal jewelry find for decoration.

I hope to be able to show more progress next week.

I wish\you all a lovely weekend with blessings

A garden for Solly and Kitty

Hello dear readers,

Finally, I found time to start a small garden.  It will be a slow project as I want this garden to be filled with colorful flowers, and making tiny paper flowers is a time-consuming job.

The first thing I made was a birdbath.  There were waiting to be used, these two beautiful tiny birds made by Rosa Maria that were gifted to me a few months ago.  Nothing is glued together yet.

I made a fence from recycled bamboo cocktail forks.  Will be painted when I'll decide on a suitable color. 

I hope to be able to show progress in my next post.

For a change, the Israel post behaved nicely and a new parcel from dear Rosa arrived on time, making me super happy. Everything Rosa makes is exquisite. I was overwhelmed seeing this lovely composition. I put a match in front of it so you can note how tiny the little angel is.

 

And Rosa, being the generous lady she is, added three more gorgeous handmade treasures.

THANK YOU DEAR ROSA FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIFTS AND, MOST OF ALL FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

I wish you all my dear readers and friends a lovely weekend with blessings.
