Miniatures Monday

5460

A friend and I went to the Southern California miniatures show this weekend.  There were lots of very lovely, fascinating things, and I came home with some of them.  Above, a porcelain pot by Troy Schmidt of Red Dragon Pottery, exquisite in both its blueness and its delicate shape.

A Dieffenbachia kit (no. 213) and white pot from Dragonfly Miniatures.  I assembled the leaves Saturday afternoon, and "potted" it up in a bit of real potting soil mixed with glue.  I wanted a plant for the carpet shop, and this meets my expectations and goes a little above!  (The stand is a hand-me-down House of Miniatures candle-stand kit, painted black to be modern.  Nobody seems to really want the candle-stand kit — I have another one — but I think it makes a good plant stand, actually.)

A woollen throw from Designing Ways.  (Their mid-century furniture was pretty tempting, too …)

A china plate from Hemy & Laura.

A lovely white and pink Dendrobium orchid by Twin Heart.

And the first pot I chose from Troy Schmidt's collection — it has a wonderful blend of colors, almost like a sunset —

    I think I am in love with those tiny pots and plants! The skill of the makers has taken my breath away, what a thrill it must have been to see them at first hand. You are a lucky girl.
