The Garden

I've been working on a display in my studio.  First, I had to find several prints that would blend with each other in a 108 inch spand. Let hunt was on!  I went to Hobby Lobby and started pulling different prints and placing them next to each other to make sure they would work well as one back drop.  I had them all lined up so I could step back and take a look.  I'm sure the people at Hobby Lobby weren't all that thrilled, but I put everything back so they didn't say much.  Then I bought foam boards.  Took everything home and glued the prints down on the foam board.  A garden needs grass.....off to Maynard's for "grass".....Finally I worked over the next couple of weeks adding flowers, swings and little details to make the display come to life.  It turned out wonderful and it makes the perfect photo background for girls that are 14 inches or smaller.  Too fun...Next is "Bea's Cafe."  Bea needs a remodel....after moving a couple of times, it's time to spruce things up at Bea's!

This is the full display.....my girls love their garden....so many things to see and girls to visit.

This is the far right side of the display....Fripon is greeting Lisa May and Kathy is making sure he doesn't jump and stain her dress.

 Middle portion of the display....Charmine (back) is sitting on the garden swing getting ready to eat her apple, while Yvette pets Poko.
