Lavender and Daffodils

Description

One of several photos of my finished gazebo garden.  The gazebo itself was a flat-pack kit that I had to paint and assemble, and the rose flowers (not the greenery supporting them) were a gift.  But everything else I made by hand.  Each petal and leaf are hand painted and contoured.  The path bricks were cut by hand and individually painted.  The pond has 2 koi fish that I made with polymer clay, as well as 3 hedgehogs around the garden, a squirrel, a duck, and 2 robins. If you have any questions please ask, I'm happy to answer.

This is part of an entire hand-made garden surrounding a gazebo.  A good selection of the other photos, as well as mini tutorials can be seen in this journal  Gazebo Show and Tell:iconflyingheartsplz: Hello dear Friends and Watchers :iconflyingheartsplz:
Well, as you are all probably too well aware, my recent big project was a Gazebo Garden, set during Springtime in England. For my own sake as much as anything else, and because my YouTube video failed in the sound department about half way through (their fault, not mine - the original film is fine), I thought I'd assemble some photos and include some chat about methods and equipment used - if anyone cares a jot ;)
The gazebo began as a 'flat pack' kit in plain wood. I actually bought it from our one 'minis' shop, which is of course far, far away from home :giggle:
But I bought it with the $50 voucher that I won at the 2014 show in the novice category. I'd only been doing minis for around 9 months and won the prize for this garden in a frozen yogurt tub...

The flowers were made with chopped up kitchen sponges of various colours and the water is glue from a glue gun.

Considering your talent and the number of watchers that you must have I am surprised that nobody has yet made any comments on this outstanding example of craftwork.
