I think that the conservatory is my favourite piece of yours, the colours are so warm and inviting, but then again, that's the first time I've seen your Saints Ceiling, and WOW, that is an amazing piece of work - I'm so glad you shared it with us, because now it is not only you but also us who 'know it's there',! I'd love to see all of your patient saints!<br /><br />JonquilJonquilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288393310275959112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-53384413061619082322015-02-18T22:40:04.461-05:002015-02-18T22:40:04.461-05:00Yikes!

All the work you've put into these tiles... every minute worth. Elizabeth already said what I felt when looking at it - she's right about your dedication to every detail... and even to those who won't be visible anymore - but we all will know they are there. Your tiles are awesome and all your work of dirtying paid off - they look so realistic now. And it was great seeing you work on the Saints again... your painting skills always leave me breathless, what a wonderful work on Hedwig's halo. Ah, and the trees... wonderful trees on the walls... what could be better than having a forest in your house? And last but not least - your photos were fantastic as usual... it's always a pleasure to peep into your conservatory, you're able to catch any raw sunbeam with your camera. But the last photo gave me the shivers... you know I'm allergic to that cold white stuff... ;O)<br /><br />Hugs<br />Birgit (who is going to write you tomorrow after coming back from the post office)BiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-51693149100623897072015-02-18T16:37:30.663-05:002015-02-18T16:37:30.663-05:00You need to take more vacations if this is what yo...You need to take more vacations if this is what you are able to achieve in a week. The tiles are just beautiful, a wonderfully colourful contrast to the exterior. I would have, without a doubt, lost track of the pattern and then realised after they were stuck down. I think the wash of paint really makes them look realistic. As for the roof, wow! Your painting is superb.

No one is surprised that you have given so much thought and devoted so much time to the saints on the ceiling because this is what makes it a true Work of Art and not just a miniature. Your attention to the tiles on the floor of the conservatory, is a testament to your style and it looks Simply Fantastic!!! :D Again, it is the dedication to the details that makes your work So Outstanding and Such a Pleasure to see! <br />What Beautiful Photos too! The snow piled up around the Conservatory, is Christmas Card Perfect. And although I am grateful to not have to shovel the walk in Real Life, I am envious of the purity that it gives to The Folly and the grounds around the Greenhouse and the way it invites the viewer to leave the cold outside, and step into the delicious comfort of the conservatory, where the stove is aglow, the seedlings grow and those Beautiful tiles, will warm your toes. :))<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-61530048907674376772015-02-18T13:33:05.175-05:002015-02-18T13:33:05.175-05:00Believe it or not I love the weather you have over...Believe it or not I love the weather you have over there!

The bedroom will be a masterpiece. the trees are looking great and the sky background is beautiful and calming...talk about sweet dreams and inspiring mornings! I would love a mural like that! I think the "because I know it's there" projects like the saints is one of the most fulfilling types of project a miniaturist can do. It makes the room feel real for you and that is what counts most. They are looking gorgeous! I can't wait to see more of your wonderful artwork. I can't wait for the spring, but your mini world does look wonderful with the carpet of snow.<br />Big hug, and thanks again for always inspiring me.<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-52781460615168537602015-02-18T06:40:06.781-05:002015-02-18T06:40:06.781-05:00You have so many fantastic projects!
