mini plants

Can anyone direct me to a good site where I can learn how to make acurate 1"
scale plants?

You could use Google to search for sites. Also check out the Archives at

LadyBug has a site where you can buy supplies and kits (the kits come with
instructions), but I don't see instructions on the site. She does shows and I
saw her do a demo for one type of plant. You might want to give a look:

You might want to think about signing up for a class at a dollhouse show if
there are any in your area.

Theres an easy way to make them. take a twist tie and strip the tape off
it. then get 1in wide masking tape and keepint the wire straight, fold it
over the wire long ways. you should have a two inch strip or so with a wire
running right down the middle. now paint it green, whatever shade you want.
clip the sides to form leaves, ferns work well and look nice, but you can
make them any shape you want to. make several for a houseplant, put in a
mini pot and put a little clay in the bottom to stick the leaves into. i
have made several of these and if you'd like i can make some more and take
pics as i go. if this isnt clear enough. they do turn out fantastic
though, and with the wire, and tape, are easily shaped. looks very real
too.

Do you have a website with pictures? I followed your description
fairly well, but I'd love to see examples.

I haven't tried it yet... but will. I'm going to try cutting down the
pre-made strips of Ivy first, to see how it looks.
