Thanks to the kindness and patience of Georgina Steed at The Miniature Garden, I’ve managed to finish transforming her wonderful pot rose bush into a rambler/climber style. This, with a little touching up here and there on the papier mache soil banks built for the plantings, was the last item to complete the eighteenth century scene; a late seventeenth century house falling into ruin and lived in by an eighteenth century tailor, quite possibly in Gloucester.
Rose embedded in the wall at bottom end to help support and pinned, glued and wax-held around the window too – used pieces of florists’ wire as staples here and there to help support the weight. For the papier mache I like to use tissues as, when dry, they give a striated look, a bit like wood or rock.
Finished and parked in its new home on top of cupboard 🙂

I have loved every post on this project and I look forward to seeing what you will do next. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Very kind of you to say – am thinking about what next e’en now 🙂
Congratulations! It looks fabulous!
There is so much character within every stone of this building. I think that it’s absolutely Marvellous what you’ve accomplished inside and out with this structure!
Overwhelmed – many thanks indeed 🙂
Indeed, quite lovely.
🙂 You’re v kind – onwards and upwards. What’s next?
That’s my question…not yours. Perhaps a photo book on what you’ve learned…what you would improve?
Oh, not the writing ‘thing’ please. What I’ve learned; well one minute you think you’ve learned and the next you know for sure that you haven’t learned much of anything 🙂 Getting too old for ‘what would I have done differently’ – doing things I find is the big bonus 😉
Like it, very nice!
Thanks 🙂
