If I would have such a nice hall in my house with a beautiful table in the middle, what else could I possibly put on top of it, other than a nice bunch of flowers. I once found these little baskets and I think I got about a dozen of those. They can be used in many different ways.
This one here was simply filled with Oasis and dried flowers, very tiny ones of course.

The little flower pots are available at any dollhouse shop. These plants are made from kits. All you need to do is giving them a little color, fill the pot with unbaked fimo or some Oasis to give the plants a better hold. I fill my pots with tea. This gives a very realistic look.

This little plant came in one issue of my American Miniaturist magazine. All I needed to do was cut out the leaves, color them and follow the assembling instructions. Only thing you need is a little patience to let the color dry, because both sides of the leaves have to be colored. And this has of course to be done before the cutout - makes it a lot easier.

This tree was all finished when I bought it. All I had to do was giving it a little final touch before planting it in my garden. So I added some reindeer moss (comes in a wide range of colors and is available from most miniature train shops, railway layout material section) and dried flowers, as well as some self-made paper flowers, a few white stones and it was readty to be put in place.

When I started my latest project, I already had some experience in making miniature gardens and I probably read Freida Gray's book about 15 times. I made this trellis from a few pieces of wood left-overs, painted it, added some reindeer moss available from most miniature train shops, added the flowers of my choice and just glued the whole thing to the wall.

This is quite an easy thing to do. All you need is a little Oasis, some statice or sea lavender, a bit reindeer moss and a few dried, silk or self-made paper flowers.

These were made from a kit. Not very difficult, but I think you might need a pair of tweezers and maybe a magnifier. These flowers and leaves are very tiny and it takes a little patience to put them together.

I made this outdoor plant with some aquarium greenery and a few dried flowers. Don't really know how to name it, but it looks nice anyway.

This is a project from Feida Gray's book. She suggests you may use real stones for the rockery or cut out chunks of oasis. I used oasis here, reindeer moss and different sorts of dried flowers and I must say, I was very satisfied with the result.

These flowers in the 3 lower pots are all made with Freida Gray's technique, using paper and stamens to make the flowers The ones in the big wite flower pot are silk flowers, available at most craft shops.

Here you can see different techniques to make vegetables : plastic (aquarium greenery), paper (different sizes of circles, cut out and glued together), Fimo (tomatoes)

This barrel is made out of balsa wood. I found that project in Freida Gray's book too. Just add a little aquarium greenerey, dried flowers or home-made ones.

This flower bed is made out of oasis again, easy to cut in the lines to make it look like bricks.
