Fairies' Garden

Home of Fairies- 
❣ This is by far the most detailed work I have accomplished. Everything is handmade to scale and matched perfectly. Even though this arrangement is not very splendid, the realism of the work is definitely surprising. 

❣ Each leaf is made to look like the real leaf in life.
There are a total of 5 different species of flowers in this arrangement, which is 
Syringa vulgaris, Ranunculus, Callirhoe involucrata, Black oak leafs and Sawtooth Oak leafs. 

❣This piece in real life looks much more delicate. I love looking at it too! 

❣I would like to stress on the lilac, the process of work could be found in my blog. I made each petal by hand without using any mold and color the end in green and outside in purple. 

Refined flowers technique

Dear Readers,  (This is a longer post)

Bonjour! Hello! Sorry I haven't posted a lot of my recent works right now. I have been experimenting and learning from different Japanese artists who make flowers (rosy, petipetit, nunu's house and megu x mini) The great thing about knowing chinese is that you get to understand a bit of japanese :D because some characters are the same!! woah! 

This time, I tried to make peonies & roses. I really enjoy making all of these. The different shades of pink, purple and yellow really helps to make the mini more realistic!

I especially like the purple one but my mom and dad likes the yellow/orange one, they said it is more cheerful!! I know right (; Anyway I hope you love all of them and have a nice day!

The pink peonies and purple roses will be listed on Etsy later. 

-*-*-*

This is the process of a new type of flowers that is inspired and learnt from Japanese artists. I am making Wisteria sinensis. 

First make some droplet's shape clay very very tiny. 1mm in size I guess

Second, cut them in half. or in quarter. 

paint the end with green color

stick them together.

This is my studio! Can you spot out the new flowers? 

-*-*-*

Please stay in tune! The result of my new flower will be posted soon!

Best regards,

Cheily

Handmade berries pie and shabby chic flower arrangement

I am super busy doing my final review last week but now I am finally free! Hooray!! This time, I made this super realistic and delicious looking mixed berries pie which makes me so hungry right now... with the help of my mom ;) yay Mom's rock and happy mother's day. Anyway, she made the berries and I made the base and I assemble them together which looks absolutely perfect!
