mini/fairy/dollhouse, honey I shrunk the garden!
Comments (119)Well I gave up on my fairy garden, after I found out that moomin mama wouldn't need a ladder for cleaning the second story windows. I'm really amazed at nack you've got for this, Purple. Even if I'm not commenting every time, I really enjoy your pictures. Keep 'em coming! For the bricks, you would have to make sure that you use a VERY thin paint if you go by the "shake'n'bake" method. Otherwise, I fear it would run down at the bottom while drying, in a way that would create a small tip on each brick. spray paint would be possible, as long as you keep a good distance to the bricks. Perhaps you could dry them on one of those plates, that little girls use for making pearl plates? -After they have dried you could "effect" paint them with a thin layer of slightly different colour pigment paint (not acrylics) on the sides that face out: put some thin paint on a flat surface (a lid or something) then dip a piece of sponge in the paint, then dap it on a piece of paper to get the worst excess off, and finally dab it onto the brick. You could also use this technique for the burgers. -For the illusion of searing, it's hard to get a brush that is thin enough... even a no 2 could easily make too fat chunks of paint, but perhaps if you take a string of hair, and strech it out between your fingers then dip it in: a: thin paint, and run it along the direction you want the line (still stretched out), or b: use a thicker paint, and remove some of the excess paint on a piece of paper, and run it along where you want the line on your burger (also with the hair still stretched out). Perhaps it could be done with cheese cutting wire, which is a bit thicker. I have yet to see a no 1 brush in an art supply store, but perhaps they would have it in a hobby supply store (I always wonder how people who paint tin soldiers makes those small dots for eyes).

Comments (5)Thanks for the ID! I didn't realize "arboricola" was also a schefflera. I have a larger arboricola with a different color pattern, I was hoping this was a mini like my mini ficuses are. But when I saw the roots when I potted it yesterday, I thought, "nope". One pot is a little bigger, I gave it that one. I've bought other plants at the same store that stayed little, but I realize that some won't, and with no name on the pot, I can't look them up on the spot. I just have to accept that that some will need bigger pots - some sooner, some later. I was using spare clay to make the little pots. It was just a fun project to do in front of the tv. I made them square, because you can't really find square pots. The miniature ficuses I bought several years back are just gorgeous. Full and well branched, but still tiny. Whereas the mini cane begonia I bought now fills at least four pots that range in size from 4" to 8", plus I've given some cuttings away....See MoreCan Anyone Identify This Forest Plant? S.E.
