Waterfall & Thuja watercolour time lapse
Time laps and short reflection of painting a thuja tree living on the edge of waterfall in the medium of watercolour. This is my first time painting a waterfall and I had a lot of fun with it.

Winterizing Bonsai 2024
Переглядів 71День тому
Join me in today in the process of winterizing my winter hardy trees to spend their winter outdoors. This is the first time I am going to leave my stoneware pots outside in the winter and I hope they will not crack, as some of them are quite precious! However, I had to leave them outside as the hardy trees suffered in the garage last year and I have lost some of my favourites, amongst them, the...

Rock garden planting + scented geranium cuttings
Переглядів 3522 місяці тому
Join me in today as I am playing with rocks and plants creating a fun composition. When the cooler months come, I am drawn more into indoor plants and love to surround myself with greenery. This simple composition is so easy, anyone can make it! I am also planting a new plant to me: scented geranium, also known as mosquito plant. I found unusual uses for the leaves and am quite enjoying it!

My grandpa was taken away to Germany to work and my Grandma was able to stay home and take care of her elderly mom, but she had to work for a Nazi Officer as a housework. So much history!

    With my glazed pots I place them into the soil just even with the rim and then the leaves on top. Pot and tree survived. Fingers crossed on the survival of your trees and pots. Nice idea digging down and covering with leaves and enclosing the trees with the fence. It will help to keep the leaves in place. I cannot wait till spring to see how yours survived. wesołych świąt i szczęśliwego nowego roku

      The chicken wire will discourage the bunnies, and squirrels or mice never showed any interest in the trees, other than trying to burry nuts in the pots or picking the moss when the trees were still on the bonsai benches. I am hoping they will leave them alone. They did in the past years, so fingers crossed!

    Always nice see all your pots and you made some attractive arrangements there. Scented geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) has always been a favourite indoor plant and always keep a couple at home and there are some variants on the type of scent they spread I noticed (some are more citrus like and some almost cinnamon-ish etc). They been a classic staple here in Sweden and mostly traded privately and not so much sold.

      @gaeangardensbyizabela 2 місяці тому

      @Tybold63 I'm late to realize how amazing it is, but better later than never. My sister just moved to Sweden, and she was saying she's hoping to get some scented geranium too. It's nice to hear it's a staple in Sweden. It's in Poland too, but somehow, not in my family. I guess my mom was never into house plants until she retired, and my grandma just had ficus elastica that took so much space. She also grew ivy indoors and ferns, which don't seem to be so common here in Canada. Warm greetings!

      @Tybold63 you would love it in Poland, such a beautiful country and rich history. My sister loves it so much, she feels at home. She said Swedes are naturally very kind and avoid conflicts and that's our nature too! She sent me pictures of trolls in the woods and I'm obsessed with them, I started to make a troll planter out of clay inspired by this. I think the violence comes from pain and suffering, I believe in life that is peaceful and kind. We create our lives by our actions everyday and nothing is ever lost or in vain. We all have violent history as humans, now is the time to forgive and understand, move on and heal. Thank you for such a lovely conversation!

      @curlylady3659 if you want to fully cover it, you can apply it when the previous layer is dry- no more shine on it. But you can also blend colours when they're wet too, just like with a painting. Sometimes the clay underneath gets rehydrated so much that you have to wait till it dries to be leather hard again. It's fun, give it a try and you're learn from doing it
