I have 'finished' this vignette, but I want to add some small early spring flowers, like snowbells ( I think that's what they are called). I have added the snow on the small part on the left, just a bit of the left over snow after the spring thaw has started, but I can't upload my latest pic's right now. MSN has trown a wobbely and wont let me sign in.. or in 'my Ebay either, but that is a different story..
I just want to add some flowers as they would really finish the scene, and would also make the time setting clear to the viewer. So the question is, where could I buy something like that, or does anybody know a smart way of scratch building some.



Cheers
Henk

Hi Henk, Im not sure exactly what a snow bell is but if you go to a flower shop or a craft store many dried flowers can be found for you to use. My favorites are candytuft and also babysbreath. Also remember if you find a flower thats not quite the right color you can paint or dye them. If you have any further questions feel free to pm me. cheers Kevin

Edit: Shain thanks for the mention I see you beat me to it!!!

Thank you Kevin, It's a hard job trying to keep ahead of people when the post this quick.... . That's why I don't join chat rooms, by the time I've typed a reply the conversation will have moved into next week, or everybody's gone to sleep.... :-) :-) :-)

Thanks for the tips, I'll see what my local florist can do.

Cheers
Henk
