I can say that this is one of the reasons why I got hooked with older versions. It may be painstaking, but I really enjoyed making the flowers piece by piece.
Unlike the newer version, I needed to cut and glue each petal, each leaf. It took a while but I was not rushing and taking my sweet time.
Even the straw hat had to be cut, glue the paper twine which took a long time to dry.
I remembered that I had trouble making the lantern. Looking at the picture, I can still see myself as a novice (still am ). Now, that I know better, I will be retouching the white parts so it wont be noticeable.
What a beautiful kit! I’m doing millers garden next and I can’t wait. I love all the details in your kit too! Thank you for sharing the tip about the clay, I will probably have to try that.
Your Miller’s Garden build sounds like such a rewarding journey, especially taking the time to glue each petal and leaf by hand. The detail with the straw hat and paper twine really shows your dedication. Keep enjoying these lovely challenges, your passion truly shines through!
I think you did really well on this one. I would not have the patience to make all those flowers . When I see the flowers and all the other details in this kit, I can only say you did great!
I do remember that I sort of complained to my husband about doing the flowers because they were so tiny. But once you assemble them together, I felt encouraged to finish it. hahaha
One of your first kits was one with many paper flowers? Oh wow. Kudos to you! It’s looking fantastic to say the least, you should be proud! Thanks a lot for sharing it.
