I had forgotten that I had made these garden gloves and in re-reading the procedures of this post and seeing the gloves again, I will admit that they did turn out pretty darn good! :D<br />Not Everything does, yet as I recall the leather look was really easy to achieve.<br />Thank you for wanting to sit on those garden steps, which means to me, that I have done something RIGHT :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-41478841680312853892017-05-10T17:43:49.232-07:002017-05-10T17:43:49.232-07:00I can't believe the garden gloves started out ...I can't believe the garden gloves started out as PAPER.

Thank You Very Very Much!:D I was trying to make the garden reflect not only the English style of gardening but also My style and I have lots of different plants crammed into my Real Life garden, although I have been religiously trying to thin it out whenever I can. :/<br />I am so pleased that you have recognized this as a "natural" space because that is exactly what I am striving to achieve and so this garden is constantly being amended.<br />The camera helps with this process enormously and you are Right in saying that it gives "more distance" but it does work! :D<br />Thank you again for your wonderful comment....

I cannot believe how well you've done this, especially the diversity, even within very small parts of tiny flowerbeds, it's so incredibly realistic! I just can't find words to do your work (which must have been daunting) justice. I thought the before that I just saw as well, was beautiful, but you are right, with more colour and all the other adjustments it looks even better! You have a very good eye for what's right and realistic and I think what you've done here is the best possible and natural mini garden and I LOVE it!<br /><br />Haha, I recognize all too well that things can seem off without knowing what, but it's always for a reason that things keep buggin in your mind and you go back to photo's because of that. And I also see that best in photographs, it gives more distance to our work, even if we see things at the same distance. Don't know how that works, just that it does ;) Fabulously Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900803753608126554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-58310640808019957952014-11-06T12:24:40.598-08:002014-11-06T12:24:40.598-08:00Hi Jana!

The part that seems to take the longest though, is the "thinking about" doing it. Once I get started, the time goes by quite quickly. Yet how often I have wished that I did have a magic wand and could just ZAP, the garden into existence! :))<br />The gloves and tools were a fun kit that I was finally able to usefully employ, and I am very happy that you like them too! :D<br /> <br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-5189018169023447932014-11-05T04:08:00.824-08:002014-11-05T04:08:00.824-08:00OMG!

I simply don't have the words to describe your wonderful work - perhaps magic? :) <br />Truly, it is incredible and full of life. I swear if I didn't know it's a miniature garden I would never have guessed it isn't real. <br />I also love the way you made the gloves and tools. So clever! They look like they're made from really thin leather, not paper! Amazing!<br />Oh, and of course I can't forget about the wonderful kitty :) He's adorable!<br />Can't wait to see more of your projects!<br />Regards,<br />JanaIllyria Miniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788156701373694262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-62893256864441773022014-11-04T08:30:06.394-08:002014-11-04T08:30:06.394-08:00Hi There Anita!

They were fast and they were fun and best of all, they were soooo easy! But waiting for paint to try is always a challenge for me so it was good to go from them, back to the garden and then back again to the gloves, when they were finally dry. It is always best for me to keep it moving once I am on a roll, since it takes me such a lonnnnng time to get started.<br />That is because " the ol' Mojo" doesn't like to visit here, as often as before. and after all I've done for her too.......!!!!?<br />go figure? :/<br /><br />elizabeth :Delizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-65116133566376071872014-11-04T08:17:11.873-08:002014-11-04T08:17:11.873-08:00Hi Sirkka!

Thank you Very Much for enjoying my miniature garden. :)) As you know, things done in miniature take almost as long to get right, as they do in Real life, and so my "mini green thumbs" tend to get a Real Life workout, as I try to grow my little garden. :))<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-58103661693362674152014-11-03T22:27:45.260-08:002014-11-03T22:27:45.260-08:00Wow, this is AMAZING.

And it has given me an opportunity to learn some new skills and dig out some old and "rusty" ones; however, I am also dreaming of getting everything finished soon. It has been over two years of working on this 4 room house, yet there are still many things on the "to do" list. I know that eventually, it will feel VERY GOOD to have completed a difficult, albeit, enjoyable task, from the beginning to the end, especially in light of the fact that I am surrounded by a number of Still Unfinished miniature projects,here in my studio.<br />And so, although I will undoubtedly feel some sadness, I know that I will also feel gladness and a great sense of accomplishment, when I can at last see this house on Green Dolphin Street as,- Finally Done! <br /><br />elizabeth :Delizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-22462713771116877192014-10-29T10:07:48.479-07:002014-10-29T10:07:48.479-07:00Thanks Lindsey!
