So yesterday I spent most of the day making just the eucalyptus stems! Yep, you read that right…it took a long time to paint all of the pieces, but I’m happy with the outcome. There are 428 pieces to this build…and yep, I am going to paint all of them. Most of them I will paint just the edges, but the carnation 8 will paint the I tire thing. I’m excited to see how it turns out.
This is looking so amazing already! Every bit of progress you share is so exciting to see — keep going!
This looks great so far! I can’t believe there’s that many pieces… it’s going to turn out beautiful and I can’t wait to see ![]()
Thanks @Kim_Kieffer I’m having fun seeing everything coming together.

Thanks @TheToday , it’s taking forever and very slow going…but fun!
I agree, I think those take the longest. I paint them as well and know they take some time!
This looks great so far!
Wow, painting 428 pieces is a true test of patience and skill. Your dedication to painting even the edges and the entire carnation 8 shows your passion and attention to detail. I can’t wait to see the final wooden flower basket bloom beautifully.
It looks awesome!! Lois is a lucky woman.
As I always say, there’s no rush! This is a hobby that requires to take your time and enjoy the process ![]()
