I cannot wait to see it up.<br />I am sorry you will not get to go to the shows, hopefully you can make up for it in 2014.<br />Big hug,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-26701877070938357852013-11-03T15:42:44.339+00:002013-11-03T15:42:44.339+00:00Your flowers are lovely!

I remember being so in love with the painted pub signs when I was in England.... they are just so beautiful and evocative! I think your tubs of lavender are the perfect complement to the Wisteria... and can't wait to see it all with the sign attached!<br />I'm sorry your enthusiasm is dimmed because of the lack of Fairs.... there seems to be a Rash of mini malaise lately so maybe you caught it too! I hope you recover your mini focus....

I just love the lavender in the wine barrels, perfect for the pub and thank you for your tutorial, it comes just in time as I am gearing myself up to try some flowers, I have a feeling great patience is required. <br /><br />You are a man of many talents, the Swan is lovely and you are right about the difficulty painting so small, the idea seems simple at first but it is so hard to do such tiny brush strokes, you have done a beautiful job.<br /> <br />Well Andy I am happy to report I have been busy with miniatures and thinking of you because I have been sewing....; ) More on that another day!<br /><br />All in all the outside of your pub is looking wonderful.<br /><br />ML Fi XXFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-25177758072069414062013-10-29T19:37:56.451+00:002013-10-29T19:37:56.451+00:00Hi Andy, great to see you back!

You say you can't paint a swan, huh, now I must ask you: why are we all talking about your swan as we can't see it is a swan, so what do you think ;)!? Yes, you have really painted a good swan in miniature, which is rather difficult to do. Great work, Andy!<br />Hugs, IlonaIlonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325745983964748534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-38787794234148609252013-10-29T18:48:26.427+00:002013-10-29T18:48:26.427+00:00It's really good to hear from you... your lave...It's really good to hear from you... your lavender looks fantastic, what a great idea to use that Christmas garland. I like the tubs as planting pots very much - especially for a pub that's perfect. Btw - I use dried coffee for soil, very effective and cheap. And your swan... wonderful! It's not easy painting in that small scale and on top colouring in that small scale - you've done a fantastic job.<br /><br />Greetings<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-58424157751478958442013-10-29T09:36:51.821+00:002013-10-29T09:36:51.821+00:00Very well done!

The lavender plants complement the wisteria perfectly.<br /><br />I've used cheaper tea to good effect when mimicking soil - but do note that if you have any fussier, whole-leaf tea lying around, give it a few pulses in a dry blender and it's a decent stand-in for mulch or freshly-dug soil.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141516882227013678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-19011313874130895632013-10-29T09:08:28.111+00:002013-10-29T09:08:28.111+00:00Good to hear from you.

Wow!<br />I also love your lavender with those two colors mixed it looks just real, and the tubs look like they were made for The Swan. Another little thing: should n't that horse shoe hang the other way round, in order to pour good luck over the visitors?<br />I hope are ok and well and that the stormy weather of today has not bothered you.<br />Great to read from you again,<br />hugs,<br />GeeGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209436888131173655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708828566635042112.post-79915675310240097252013-10-28T21:45:50.849+00:002013-10-28T21:45:50.849+00:00Dear Andy,
