Welcome back to the Garden..

It's that time of year again when everything is starting to bloom..... And it's really making me want to learn how to make mini flowers.... First I must find the patience and some steady fingers... lol... So- Instead.... I thought I'd take you on a tour through the garden, and hopefully it inspires You to make some Pretty flowers:)

I LOVE LOVE this first pic! This is one of the bfs orange crush roses... I took the picture with the camera pointed up so I could catch the sunlight. Makes me think of new beginnings...

I love the detail inside those roses.... In the afternoon...when the sun is hitting them just right... they are bright orange... But this year they are more of a red.

As always our 'tea=rose'? bush is about to go into full bloom. It blooms all summer and just smells amazing!

This is new- Our neighbor bought these as an early birthday present for the bf....they are blueberry flowers. He loves blueberries, and since the blackberries did so well last year.....our neighbor decided we should try blueberries this year. My birthday was last week...and we always buy plants for each other.... We just haven't been able to do it yet. But......soon:) Not too sure what I want yet... But we will probably end up with more Roses:)

A shot of the blueberries into the sun:)

The clematis's have taken over this year. One day we will have a trellis behind them so they can grow up instead of out....

But MY GOD are the beautiful! And some are the size of my hand!

Last year my other neighbor gave me a bunch of iris's that I planted around our big tree in the front... didn't think they'd bloom this year... But they are:) They remind me of dancers....so delicate!

And what would my garden be without a cat or two? LOL..... We caught JD using this strawberry plant to keep the sun out of his eyes..... Too freaking cute-

oh.... and I found my shadow. OK- so there's still a little kid left in me. LOL. I won't tell you how many shadow pics I took...

Just that It made me laugh for a bit, and sometimes that's the best medicine:)

So Until Next Time....

New Angels for the Garden

I recently came across these tiny angels... and knew I had to make them 'old'! I have several kinds, but only 2 are listed in Etsy right now.....
We will start with the Serenity Angel.....She's my favorite!

Naturally I had to take them outside for a photo op:)

And then there's this couple called The Love Angels....

Sometimes I wonder if I have more fun aging these pieces or photographing them, lol.... I go blind aging them- I use the smallest liner brush at the end and go back and add a darker brown to all the cracks and crevices....It just makes everything stand out better:)

Until Next Time...
