Nu we weer de normale temperaturen voor maart terug hebben, ben ik lekker weer binnenshuis en begonnen met miniaturen maken. Ik had nog een opdracht
liggen om witte tulpen te maken voor iemand, dus ben ik daarmee begonnen. Miniatuur bloemen maken was al eventjes geleden!
We now have back our normal temperatures for the month of March, so I am back inside and I started again with making miniatures. For a customer there still was a commission for making white tulips, so I started with that. Making miniature flowers was quite a while ago!
Het hele weekend ben ik ermee bezig geweest, ik had weer zin
in bloemen maken :D! Vorige week had ik een bos tulpen van mijn dochter
gekregen, mooi rood van kleur met een geel randje aan de bloemblaadjes. Eén
tulp had haar blaadjes op tafel laten vallen, die ik heb laten drogen. Zo had ik
voor de eerste witte mini tulpjes een lekker warm en fleurig rood dekentje
tegen de kou buiten ;)!
I’ve worked at these tulips the whole weekend, again I enjoyed
for making flowers :D! Last week I got a bunch of tulips from my daughter, their color was red with a small yellow edge at the petals. One of the tulips dropped her petals on the table, these petals I've let dry. So for my first miniature tulips I got this way a nicely warm and gaily red blanket against the cold outside ;)!
Bloemen werden vroeger op een plantentafeltje gezet, dus heb
ik laatst bij www.odhqualityproducts.nl
een plantentafeltje gekocht. Je kunt op de link klikken, als je wilt, om op hun website het
onbewerkte plantentafeltje te zien.
In earlier times flowers stood on tables for plants, so, recently I purchased a plant table at www.odhqualityproducts.nl You can click on the link, if you wish, to see the
(unprocessed) plant table on their website.

ODH (Onder de Hooiberg)maakt mooie graveringen in hun
miniatuur meubels. Desalniettemin vind ik het altijd fijn om een eigen gezicht
aan mijn miniaturen te geven.
ODH (Onder de Hooiberg) makes nice engravings in their
miniature furniture. Nevertheless I always like to give miniatures my own look.
I have worked with Mod Podge on the whole plant table to seal the MDF for moisture. After that I smeared white acrylic paint with a plastic card in the engravings on the table tops and with a damp cloth I very quickly removed the excess of the paint. Than I have patinated them with brown acrylic patina, holding my fingertip as flat as possible, to avoid for putting paint in the engravings. The table legs are firstly painted with a lighter brown acrylic paint and after the paint was dry, I've added darkbrown acrylic patina, whereby it look like it is wood.
Meubels zijn gebruiksvoorwerpen en als het meubel eruit moet
zien alsof het zo’n 100 jaar oud is, moet het er ook zo uit zien.......aan de onderkant ook :D!
Furnishings are utensils and if a piece of furniture has to
look like it is about 100 of years old, I think it also has to look like that........also at the bottom side :D!
Hier zien we dames/tulpen in voorbereiding voor de catwalk,
de lengte varieert van 3 tot bijna 5 cm, dit is vanwege de grootte en de ruimte
voor de vaas in het poppenhuis van mijn klant.
Here you can see the ladies/tulips in preparation for the
catwalk. Their length varies of 3 until nearly 5 cm, this is because of the
size and the space of the vase in the dollhouse of my customer.
Vanmorgen heb ik ze vers geplukt in mijn tuin en ze liggen
nu klaar om de vaas ermee te vullen.
Zo, nu praten we niet meer, want het wordt de hoogste tijd om
de tulpen in het water te zetten, anders hoeft het al niet meer ;)!
Well, now we stop talking, because it is the highest time to
put the tulips into water, otherwise I don't need to do it anymore ;)!

Tenslotte wil ik jullie nog iets vragen: hebben jullie ook het
probleem dat je je niet aan kunt melden
als nieuwe volger op een ander blog? Mij lukt het al meer dan een week niet,
hoe komt dat toch?
Om die reden wacht ik nog even met het bekend maken van de
sluitingsdatum van mijn giveaway, om op die manier iedereen een kans te geven om mee te
kunnen doen. Ik hoop op jullie begrip hiervoor….
Finally I want you to ask something: do you also have
problems with signing up as a new follower on someone else's blog? Since
about a week I can’t sign up myself as a new follower, how come?
For that reason I’ll wait for a while to announce a date for closing my
giveaway, this way I hope to give everyone a chance to participate. I hope for your
understanding….
I wish you all a nice week!
Ilona

Ilona, your tulips are gorgeous, and the table looks like real (i really love this pattern on top). You're right, I recently also had problems when I wanted add to followers at my new favourite blogs, I don't know why...maybe I have them to much? ;-) have a nice weekend!
Magda
Ilona: your Tulips are just like the real ones, they are gorgeous!
Yes, I am having the problem with trying to join to be a follower in all the blogs, I think I noticed it about a week ago. That is a big "headache"! Hope somebody will fix it soon!
Hugs
Kikka
I just love this photo with the tulips in the basket! Beautiful!
Also what you did to this stand is so pretty.:)
Hugs
Jouw tulpen zijn zo mooi en realist, Ilona! Jouw klant zal dolgelukkig worden!
En het tafeltje is prachtig, met de gravuurwerk!
Wat een mooi resultaat!
The tulips are gorgeous IIona. Your customer will be very pleased.
Yes, blogger is aware that there is a problem. No one can follow new sites until it is fixed =0(
Hallo Ilona, dit had ik laatst ook maar heb t zo geprobeerd, en dan lukt t wel(bij mij tenminste)., klik op neem deel aan deze site en dan niet op dit blog volgen maar ernaast op meer opties.
Klikken en dan onderaan staat volgen naast minder opties en dan kom je er wel. Hoe t werkt weet ik niet maar t werkt en je volg dat blog, en daar gaat t om! Groetjes Mar
Sorry, vergeet ik nog te zeggen dat t je weer is gelukt, gewoon "echte"tulpen, geweldig. Groetjes nogmaals Mar
Incredible as always... someone who would be just looking at the last two pictures of the white tulips would never suspect looking at a miniature. Your customer will be over the moon... - About your question... I have the same problem, too. And not only this one - I get error signs whenever I do a click in my dashboard and I'm not able to set a link in my sidebar for giveaways anymore... let's hope that blogger will fix this soon.
Hugs

Ilona, your tulips are perfection. I would guess they were real. The table is incredible with the details right down to the water stains.
I too have been having issues with Blogger. It seems since Google + came along & I have a profile there it does not recognize my blogger profile. I hope this is fixed soon as well.
Hugs,
Lisa
Dear Ilona, I adore your tulips! So realistic! My compliments! The table is also very beautiful!
Hugs

Hi Ilona! Your tulips are Perfection!!! And the table is very beautiful! I want to learn to make flowers as well as you... or even Half as well as you! LOL!!!
As for adding followers to blogs.... I only have difficulty with google plus... which I don't like and don't want to join in circles! I like plain old blogs! I was not aware that others are having trouble... I hope it gets fixed soon!
Hi Ilona, I was having trouble too, and then I found a solution. Try to follow and you get the page with the error message. Click "Other options" and now on the second page, you can follow. Try it and tell me what you think!
Your tulips and table are both gorgeous. I'm so glad you're making minis again! xo Jennifer
Ilona those tulips are stunning. I love the picture of them lying in the basket. It is interesting you should mention the error. I have not had any problems following blogs but someone recently commented on one of my blog posts and said they have been unable to join my blog. It makes me wonder if there are others out there that cannot join my blog. I hope it gets sorted soon.

You did a splendid job on your tulips! I do love tulips and I like them best when they start drooping in all directions.
Superbes tulipes ! Le petit guéridon est très beau et le vase aussi !
Aujourd'hui, c'est le printemps, en fait il est là depuis de longs jours, déjà, le soleil et la douceur sont très présents.
24° annoncés ce jour à l'ombre !

El ramo de tulipanes bicolor que te ha regalado tu hija es espectacular!!!!!
Besos.
Hello Ilona! Your white tulips are adorable! I love how you made them in different stages with leaves wide open and more closed ones. And that they are so translucent (eh, no idea if this is the right word?) like the real flower petals. And thanks for sharing how you finished the flower table! I´m having the same blogger problems :-( Happy weekend!
Tulips are spectacular and seem so real great job with the patinas on the table. I like the old look. Thank you very much for your message. a hug, Marisa
Ilona, the tulips are FABULOUS. The petals are really thin and each a little different. And you displayed them so beautifully. Enchanting! And I love the table :)
Gorgeous tulips! So fine and delicate. The table after your treatment is fabulous. Thank you for sharing and explaining.
Hugs, Drora
Hai Ilona,
Wat een schitterende bos tulpen heb je gemaakt! Echt knap zeg! Daar moet je echt wel heel geduldig aan gewerkt hebben, om tot zo'n mooi en realistisch resultaat te komen. En wat je met het tafeltje hebt gedaan is ook inspirerend om te zien; goed idee om de gravering te "high lighten" met witte acryl.

Beautiful tulips
