Planters completely finished


I just thought I'd share a picture. These are finally finished they're wrapped in bubble wrap and will soon be off to their new homes. Plants are always a challenge to me so for the sake of saving a bit of time I only made one of the plants in the planter....the leafy plant on the left in most of the planters. I used wire and masking tape to make those. If anyone is interested in a tutorial for those let me know and I'll post a quick one here to show how I did those.

Don't forget to poke the picture once or twice to make it larger so you can see the pictures better.

So check these off the list.....now I 'm going to try my hand at making woven wicker picture frames as a special request from a friend. She's making a beach cottage and has some pictures she's been looking to frame in wicker.  I've never done those before either so those should be a fun challenge. I'll be putting the chaise on hold for just a bit while I work on the frames.....or maybe do both at the same tiime. Aren't miniaturists suppose to have half a dozen projects going at the same time? I mean we have to work on something while the glue or paint is drying....right? Which, if you could see my workroom you'd know I have at LEAST a half dozen projects going already.....And yes I will have that picture for you soon too.....it's so embarressing!

Have a lovely day all!

  4. Those planters are fantastic. I especially like the solid green one as it is just like one my mother had when I was a child.
