my give-away announcement
Monday, April 09, 2012
As a thank you for hanging in with me when Google Friend Connect did not, I made a 1:12 scale plant stand and three potted plants to give away.
The chair is not part of the give-away, it is in the picture to illustrate size.
The plant stand measures 9.3 cm wide, 3.7 cm deep, and 7.8 cm tall (3 5/8" wide, 1 3/8" deep, 3 1/16" tall). It was made from tiny turnings, stained a medium wood tone, and sealed with satin varnish. The acrylic shelf is not attached, so it can be removed if you'd like to paint the plant stand a different color.
The plants are permanently fixed in the pots, and the saucers are glued to the pots...but the pots are not attached to the stand, so you can use them elsewhere if it suits you. The plants are made from archival card stock and paper covered wire. The tops of the leaves have been coated with satin varnish.
To make the color scheme neutral the two shorter clay pots were painted with an ivory colored enamel paint. The taller wooden pot was painted with a white and tan crackle glaze. A close up of the taller pot was shown two posts ago.
I will pick a name at random from all who comment on this post that they'd like to be included in the drawing. I will draw the name and post the winner on May first.
Thank you for reading my blog, it means a lot me to know you're there. :)
Those plants turned out great!!
And I'm not a mini person (reallly - I go jumbo or I don't go) so don't put me in the drawing, but I wanted to say congrats on a really comfy blog and also thanks for being a great friend!
So basically, here is my non-comment:
:-P
