Very nice. Which of the grasses did you use.
It looks very natural.

Now this is something different! Very original and the base looks old enough for the rusty bike. Butterflies are even more impressive and lifelike! Well done!

Cheers

Cool butterflies howd ya do that ? The bike looks like
a "return" to me ( my day job is bike building for a store )
if its that rusted up the tires would show signs of rot to most likely, a little to much bare metal or maybe that's your flash.

still all and all neato.

A Tweed Bike! (From Red Ranger Rides Again...it was a Burk Breathed kid's story)

I like it Mary! I really like how everything sort of blends, yet remains distinctive. The grass is awesome! Nice combination and looks...natural!

I love the grass and the butterflies. I wish I had more time so I could get some of the thicker grass for my dio. Looks like a nice simple relaxing build

Great work Mary, All the elements work well together. Maybe you could have some grass growing through the spokes?

Mary

Nice build. A simple effective scene that shows a flair for landscaping and building an effective little scene. Cool.
