iseecerulean Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I discovered how many plant kits I can put together in one weekend before my hands cramp into a permanently clenched position....not as many as I had hoped. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof2Moos Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Every few moments, I have a fit of spazziness waiting for the end of the run! So excited to see the Flings and to hear praise for the ones that I have been privy to all along. FLING ON!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I really miss the PM function; I'd love to hear from those who asked me how their ideas have panned out. At this point, they're probably too busy to answer you even if they could! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well.......my fling ain't flingin', we all know that. But you suggested something for me that turned out so well my fingers are itchin' to fling! One of the best things I've ever learned for miniatures. I plan to do it again soon for another project or two. THANK YOU HOLLY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwcole7 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thought I would jump in to tell Holly how much of an inspiration and encouragement she is! Thank you for that Holly! Still plugging along here. I am afraid that my ideas are bigger than my time to work on them. So, we will see what gets done. Hopefully I can get it all done. But, having fun doing it. Can't wait to see all of this years pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iseecerulean Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm about half way through all the plant kits I bought for the SF build. The Queen Anne's lace, gold cushion mum and fuschia are Bonnie Lavish kits....delphinium, red zinnia, petunia, hosta, wandering jew and fern are kits from sdk miniatures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Med Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Beautiful Keli. I love the Queen Anne's lace, I've used that one myself and those delphiniums and fuschias are stunning. I can't wait to see your spring fling, its going to be so colourful and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaC Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Sept 3rd? or Sept 2? What is day to send photos? So much left to do here. 'It' is going slowly and hopefully surely. Heat/temps outside are really getting me down. Have given so much thought to a name for my layout but just can't come up with one.... Jo your flower is so awesome. Someone else has made flowers from kits and they too are unbelieveabley real looking. Time is short Flingers >>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcole7 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 According to the first post in this thread it says Sept. 3rd. "Also, time is not of essence because we are extending the contest until September 3, 2012 (Labor Day)!" YAY!!! I need any extra days I can get this year!!!

morgansmith Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Keli, Your flowers are breathtaking. I want to try some kits. It seems so scary but if I could practice enough to do that......wow! It would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytchy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Keli I love the flowers.. hope we are not thinking along the same lines. those delphiniums are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Med Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I agree, those plant kits are amazing and you made a wonderful job of creating them. I suspect many of us are working along the same lines and with similar plans but every entry will be unique and I just can't wait for the time when we get to browse all the new albums. Starting to think about photos now - just a couple of small bits to finish and then I'm done - wheeee, its been a long ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm up and at 'em this morning....need some breakfast and then I shall work all day on finishing up the one remaining biggie. Then it's all detail stuff from there which should take about another week or so. I'm itching for the big reveals, too, Jo...can't hardly wait!

THmini2 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Flowers must be the thing this year as mine has lots of flowers also. :tumbleweed: Well, maybe not tumbleweeds! Lots of landscaping. Building, I hope, is different then other peoples though. I can't wait to see what everyone is doing! Just to get the dang thing done. I need plenty of time to get the pictures taken Like most people I have trouble with that. How does Greenleaf look at them? I know that they don't print them all off. ( at least I wouldn't think that they would). That would be a zillions of pictures. Download them all to one place for the judges to look at?. Just a something I was wondering about. Funnywhat you think about. Or is it just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Med Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 No Teresa, its not just you. I've wondered about the process too and I'm no wiser than you about it. Just pictures to take now - I think - know how it is - "is it finished or should I just add............or................) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseecerulean Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I've almost finished making the plants for the Spring Fling. I've got three more houseplants planned, and then will only have to make more if there are holes to fill in the garden. I vacilate between thinking I made more than enough or not enough...until I start planting them I won't know for sure. The hostas, Christmas cactus, sedum, yellow marigolds and red impatiens were made from kits by sdk miniatures. The sedum, hostas and Christmas cactus came with white leaves I got to paint the color of my choosing. The daylily greenery, black-eyed-susans and orange flowers I made from scratch. The orange flowers look kind of like marigolds and kind of like zinnias...I call them mariginnias. I used leftover leaves from the petunias and impatiens kits for the mariginnias. I have one more sheet of sedum leaves left, but the sedums were an enormous pain in the butt to make...I want burgundy leaved ones, like I have in my real-life garden, but haven't decided if I want them bad enough to go through the assembly process.

Jo Med Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wow Keli I was just thinking "is it finished or should I just add............or................) - make that " is it finished or should I add more flowers or - more flowers" lol Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
