This is a new gal that is about a third of the way done. Its hard to believe that already 5 hours was needed to get this far on such a small flower. Well!..............at least she won't fade anymore. She does have a bug bite on one petal and a few age spots but that is as bad as it will get for her. I have no idea what her name is? Whistling ?..................... Confused ?............... Smiling

I'm going to make me some 'Lava Brownies'!

I just heard an easy bake recipe for them and all need is a 100 watt bulb and faith! I got the recipe on cubits but don't have a fellowship so I couldn't ask if a 75 watt would be O.K., but I'm gonna do it anyways. Drooling Rolling my eyes. (just kidding around and Sharons recipe on cubits 'blue Gardens sounds easy and good in a real oven.)

Whistling Hey Sharon! Are you home yet? Smiling

Here is the pic of the blue metal roses. I just had to have them and my hubby was being a stinker and did not want to get them for me. We were out of town and I let him understand how long of a trip home it would be without them. They would be fast and easy compared to your other fabulous pieces, but thought I would share. I was wanting to try one myself and it looks like they used some kind of fan blade. It was not until I read this thread that I felt it is possible to have the six foot tall bush of the blue roses that I really wanted. I like to fantasy garden and how can you have a fantasy garden without blue roses? Rolling my eyes.

I absolutely agree. You can do it. I have faith in you and I promise I'm gonna try now. Love them! I tip my hat to you.

They are seriously well done and appear to be enameled. Lovely. (- : }
