Wooden Bloom Box update

Since returning back home, I have been working steadily on the bloom box, apart from building flowers for my favourite Mrs C.
By the way, Mrs C was so pleased with her flowers but created a moment of hilarity at the breakfast table when she decided to smell the flowers and knocked one of them off. I was with another resident and heard laughter behind me. When I turned around, everyone was laughing at Mrs C trying to put the flower back on before I noticed.
Easy fix! She was delighted and can’t wait to show her family.

Back to my flowers. Tonight I worked on the lilac. Of course nothing ever goes smoothly for me, and I had to take it apart once or twice to get the arrows pointing in the right direction to I could fit other parts correctly.
I was doing so well and had no breakages until….. I only had a few flowers to put in and pressed a little too hard.

B7000 to the rescue and pressure with my fingers, all the while hoping that my fingers would not remain stuck to the flowers when it dried further.
Success!! Dare I say ‘easy peasy’?
Sadly, I was unable to get good edge coverage with my acrylic paint pen closest in colour to the soft lilac. So I decided to stop painting the edges on this flower. Also, because the amount of little flowers was daunting :wink:

This is some of my completed flowers. I outlined the edges of the camellia in gold just for something different.

I only have the sunflower left to build and then out it all together.
Fingers crossed that I finish it tomorrow night.

The lilac part looks delicate; I would have broken some of it.

Same with the Lilac. I was doing so well until near the end. Probably the same branch! I too was able to fix and move on

That lilac was a tough one to do. If you laid it down for one second, it was hard to find your place where you were working on again. Nice job!

I’ve actually enjoyed doing the flowers and I’m getting better at them but the lilac has so many little parts to it.

Yes! I don’t know how many times I got confused and had to go looking for where I was up to.

It’s a good thing their directions are so clear with “pivot” points inserted first to help you find your place…LOL!

I agree but unfortunately my eyes were not behaving themselves too well last night so it was a bit difficult.
