Karla Sidey's miniature garden 2016

Yesterday, Karla Sidey brought her Scaly Mountain Woman’s Club for a private session. She made a miniature garden at Dovecote complete with a home-crafted waterfall. …the club held workshops to prepare for the magical planting and building session. Her tableaux is pictured to the left. Love it!

The club even made little houses with leaf pressed clay roofs and imprinted sides…just adorable! I’ve never had a group study up and bring creative containers for precious little buildings…just add water, plants and magic!
