I bought a big box of artificial flowers from the car boot this weekend for £1.50! I saw the yellow ball-flower bud things (which mum informed me are called Mimosa) and thought they could look great to add more dimension to the card leaves behind the buildings.
They do! It was a bit of a fiddle to get these all in and stay in place but I think it adds a lot more vibrancy, dimension and interest to the scene. I should have made these all by hand to demonstrate more prop-making BUT I think being a maker is a lot to do with making use of scraps too!
All of Whistle-Stop Thistle is made from bits and bobs I've found/repurposed/crafted into something else (lids made table tops, pencils made table legs, bottle caps made pie dishes, jewellery made door knockers etc) and this adds to my tiny world-within our world- theme.
