I have spent many hours on this project. In particular, making the cherry blossom took almost a year (about 5 minutes per flower \ud83d\ude05). The flower pot that the garden is made in had been in the cupboard for years, too small for a plant but big enough for a creative idea \ud83d\ude0a I love nature scenes. It's very fiddly to make, but it's so cool when it works! The shape of the flowerpot made me think of a Japanese garden, with of course a cherry tree full of blossom, red maple bushes, the granite lantern, the small and bright red bridge over a water feature and of course a small zen garden with a stone in the middle. A Japanese crane scurrying through the garden looking for a smaller bite than the two Koi carp in the water. Despite the fact that there are many elements to discover in this small garden, it has a serene atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
