Kersen en pruimen plukken / Picking cherries and plums


Nog niet zo lang geleden kreeg ik een speciaal verzoek of ik miniatuur kersen en pruimen (in verschillende kleurnuances van geel tot oranjerood en met een licht rood blosje) kon maken, dat was iets wat ik nog niet eerder had geprobeerd. Het was die week in juli net niet zo heet, dus heb ik meteen maar eens een poging gewaagd.
Inmiddels heeft het fruit de stempel “goedgekeurd” gekregen van mijn opdrachtgever, iets waar ik natuurlijk heel blij mee ben J!
Dit is het resultaat:
                       
Not long ago I got a special request if I could make some cherries and plums (in varying color shades from yellow to orange red and with a slight blush of red), it was something I hadn’t done before. That week in July I was lucky that it wasn’t that hot, so I instantly gave it a try.
In the meanwhile the fruit got the stamp “aproved” of my client, something I was very happy for, of course :)!
This is the result:




De witte kop en schotel en het kleine kommetje zijn gemaakt door Elisabeth Causeret.
The white cup and saucer and tiny bowl are made by Elisabeth Causeret.




Het delfts blauwe keramieken schoentje en dito schaal zijn van de hand van Henny Staring.
The tiny Delft blue ceramic shoe and ditto bowl are made by Henny Staring.




De pruimen zijn van de soort Reine Claude.
The plums are of the Reine Claude variety.




Mandje (diameter 10 mm, hoogte is 15 mm) is gemaakt door mij, van bloemendraad en naaigaren.
Basket (diameter of 10 mm, 15 mm in height) is made by me, of floral wire and sewing thread.




Inmiddels zijn we al in september beland (wáár blijft de tijd???) en is het paddenstoelentijd. Vorige week kwam ik voorbij een stuk weiland, waarin “grote witte voetballen” lagen, tenminste dat dácht ik. Nieuwsgierig ben ik het weiland in gelopen en kwam tot de ontdekking dat ik hele grote witte paddenstoelen (of misschien een verlaten Smurfendorp ;O??) zag. Eenmaal thuis heb ik opgezocht wat dat nu voor vreemde witte bollen waren, het bleken Reuzenbovisten (Langermannia gigantea) te zijn. 
Dat verklaart waarom de Smurfen niet thuis waren, haha, Moeder Natuur blijft mij altijd verbazen ;).
Dank voor jullie fijne reacties, een heel fijne week toegewenst!

Now we've already arrived in September (where does the time go ???) and it's time for mushrooms. Last week I passed by a meadow and in the grass lay a number of "big white footballs" lay, at least I thought so when I noticed them. I curiously walked into the grass and than discovered that I saw very large white mushrooms (or maybe an abandoned Smurfs village ;O ??). Once back at home, I looked up what these strange white bulbs were, it turned out to be Giant Bovists (Langermannia gigantea). That explains why the Smurfs were not at home, haha, Mother Nature always keeps surprising me ;).
Thank you for yor nice comments, I wish you all a nice week!

Your beautiful fruit makes me long for summer. My fruit trees have only just started flowering so there is a few months of waiting for fruit.
The Smurfs village mushrooms are amazing - I don't think I have ever seen mushrooms that big.
Have a lovely week,

This is amazing work - your customer came to the right miracle worker! The cherries and plums look so real that I can almost feel their sweet taste on my tongue. Btw it made me smile to be remembered that this plum variety is originally called Reine Claude. Here in Germany they're known as Renekloden... which is of course a brutal takeover to the German language of a once noble name. *LOL* And we're calling this sort of cherries glass cherries.

Wow, these mushrooms are stunning! I can only agree - Mother Nature is full of the most amazing surprises. Nevertheless I'm a bit disappointed - I suppose the smurfs were just hiding, being a bit shy… ;O) Do you happen to know why they are blue? Well, Peyo's wife was coloring his drawings and she decided that red was too aggressive, yellow would look to sick, in green these tiny gnomes would hardly be visible in the landscape so what remained was blue…

Oh, que ces fruits sont beaux, on en mangerait volontiers ...
Je me contenterai des prunes, étant allergiques aux fruits rouges ;(
Le panier en fil est le contenant idéal pour ces fruits .
Profitons de la nature, elle est tellement incroyable !
Bises.

Ilona my dear, we Don't really know each other but I wanted to say 'are you KIDDING' with this fruit ! especially the cherries ! goodness what a size ! This is incredible work and those plums look ready to eat ! Wonderful work ! As for the Smurf hat, here in France we call them 'tete de mouton', or sheeps head and am told that cut into slices and fried they can replace meat ( for those of you out there still eating dead animals) ! I haven't tested it as I've read too many books where people die of mushroom poisoning ! Thanks for sharing ( I secretly believe that you have imprisonned a family of elves who do all this work for you, it's the only way such detail can be obtained !! ) hihihi huggss Mrs M
