[ROKR Journey] Spring Time Bouquet 💐 2/2: Finished... Ish

Well! As eager as I was to start with my newly received Viking Dragon Ship, I don’t really like to start something new until I’m done with what I’m currently busy with. So it was time to finish my Spring Time Bouquet in order to prepare my kits for the meetup event in April :smiley:

Last time I took my time to craft a few plastic flower that actually looked amazing. These the ones I’ve made so far:

So we were missing the hydrangea and a couple of eucalyptus. And this is what I needed for those:

Pretty easy and straightforward in both cases! I don’t have a lot to comment here :rofl: besides the fact that they’re the easiest flowers in the kit imo, and that the eucalyptus look… Fun? I don’t know. They just don’t seem as realistic for me as the other flowers, but hey, they do the decorative job, which is what is intended!

So those are the hydrangeas, super easy and fast to put together:

And here are all the flowers with their friends the eucalyptus twins!

So what now?

Now… Well! This is embarrasing. I’ve finished and haven’t finished at the same time :rofl:

Yeah, let me explain myself. This is not a Schrödinger’s Cat situation. Or… Is it?

Thing is the manual gives you two options for the flowerpot:

  • Have/buy an actual pot, fill it with those flowers and decorate it with the extra greenies provided in the kit
  • Craft the cardboard-based pot provided in the kit, fill it with the flowers and the ET (Eucalyptus Twins, not to be mistaken with E.T. the alien) cover it and decorate it with the big A1 size papers and fabrics and ribbon provided in the kit

Well, I don’t have spare flowerpots, so I decided to try the craft-your-flowerpot option.

It was a bit of a disaster :rofl:

No, no, I didn’t break anything. Everything was going well. I gave the cardboard pot the size, put the other thing inside, added the flowers… Everything was taking proper shape.

But… Yeah. I kind of made a mess with the decorative fabric :rofl: so instead of doing everything you’re supposed to do to decorate and finish this kit, I just covered the cardboard with some of the fabric to make it look… A bit more decent, I guess?

But I’m not really a fan of how this looks lol. It seems like after the amazingly looking and detailed and realistic flowers were made, the pot for them was a bit of a crafty hand-made mess.

So I’ll leave it there and will by a proper flowerpot this weekend, so I’ll end up going for option 1 and doing this as nicely as possible :rofl:

Until then…

See you/read you around!

You should get one of the Robotime puzzle vases and put them in that! Then you still get to build more stuff and it’s more fun than just buying a vase! :zany_face:

I laughed out loud at your cat meme. I like @Atropex idea of buying one of the puzzle vases and putting them in that if you really aren’t happy with your handcrafted vase :grin:
I really like these flowers. They look classy.
So now you’re onto your Viking ship?

I’m looking forward to seeing it. I really like the look of the Viking ship.

:thinking:if you don’t mind can reused the box to transform into a vase… :rofl:just the simple cube vase…:rofl::rofl::rofl:

It’s beautiful.

Compare to other pictures, it is not so small. It is perfect as a center table.

Thank you! :sparkling_heart: I just saw that it’s a 3-star level

Me too, it was actually at the top of my list alongside the Cuckoo Clock so I was super excited to start!

They turned out so realistic looking, such pretty flowers. As for the flower pot wrap thingy…well, it was a valiant effort! Hahaha looking forward to seeing what pot you choose.
