Geraniums and Ivy

Good morning all,

I have been busy, busy so no time to post anything on here.

Still working on the foxgloves...I am down to the bottom flowers now Nikki so they are getting there :-)

While I was waiting for paint to dry over the weekend I threw together this geranium and ivy hanging basket...I can say threw together as all the leaves and blossoms were leftover from another one so were already cut and painted...I just had to glue them all together.

I love the way this variegated ivy looks but it is so fiddly to make, the main leaves are bad enough to paint but the end ones, those real tiny ones, almost send me blind. I can barely see them let alone paint them.

Personally, I am not crazy on this one. There is nothing wrong with it...I just don't like it much... but it is good enough to put up for sale....someone might like it.

I really want to make a huge ivy vine to cover the one wall of my house but the thought of all that work...ugh.

The geraniums, on the other hand, are dead easy to make. I quite like them in miniature but can't stand the smell of them in real life. I do have them in my garden, but only because the black Phoebe bird loves the bugs on them. They are far enough away that I can't smell them. the smell reminds me of cat pee...yuk.

Well that's it from me....back to the foxgloves !
