I was hopeless on the wheel and I'd had a miniature garden in mind for a while so I made these toadstool houses from my mind's eye. My friend showed us how to paint on the glazes and also fired our work for us. So much fun!! I hope all is going well with you!Wendy Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809722045189710005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-72398445448046751072015-07-01T06:27:18.204-07:002015-07-01T06:27:18.204-07:00Thanks Jane!

Keeping me away from my art and my art blogging. I am happy today that I am at least back commenting on my favorite art blogs! Yours certainly is on the top of the list!<br />I so love all your photos! Not enough time or space to write all I wish! The little gardens are beautiful. Great colors and textures. I also love your little painting! All the Australian fauna photos are so very nice. Of course I love your last photos of the sea! Ahhh! Sunset at a beach. Can't get much better than that! Soon I hope to post some art I have been trying to make and maybe a few photos of my little flower garden!<br />Take care my Australian Cobber!<br />Your Missing Art So Much Art Buddy But Soon To Be Back Painting Buddy!<br />Michaelart by Michael Perchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767323223269323935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-52549088922573158482015-06-23T01:13:17.079-07:002015-06-23T01:13:17.079-07:00Precious these gardens in miniature, that delicacy...Precious these gardens in miniature, that delicacy and charm to emerge.<br />Congratulations.<br />Best regardsJosé Antonio Sánchez Rumíhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16868955652525157795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-79398681858219103422015-06-12T18:39:19.167-07:002015-06-12T18:39:19.167-07:00hi Wendy, the wee fairy garden is so sweet, and I&...hi Wendy, the wee fairy garden is so sweet, and I'm impressed with your handmade ceramic mushrooms. they are just perfect! how nice to do the miniature garden with native Australian plants.
