I find the miniatures community very generous in sharing steps and techniques. You may just not be looking in the right place. . . . And thanks for your wonderful tutorial. I’m going to add it to the Plants/Landscapes section of my board “Make Minis, Make Magic.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388831873324619398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-53398637012482826272016-04-11T17:30:45.232-04:002016-04-11T17:30:45.232-04:00I am amazed at the comments about miniaturists not...I am amazed at the comments about miniaturists not sharing. I have been into miniatures probably since I was a child and a member of two different Miniatures Clubs in the Atlanta area for probably the last 10 to 15 years. I think that belonging to a club may be the actual issue. All of us had noticed that for a long time there were very few Miniatures tutorials on YouTube, for instance. That has changed in the last few years. The thing is, whenever we have a meeting, anyone who has discovered a new technique is more than willing to teach all the rest of the group how to do it. We all go to a number of Miniatures functions in the Southeast during the course of the year. These functions are put on by local clubs. They have designed the project, pulled all of the materials together, written out complete instructions, and are wonderful hosts who provide snacks and meals and sometimes even accommodations. At each of these functions we are doing a project and learning new techniques the whole time. I really think that the issue, or one of the issues, is that not as many people are into Miniatures. It can be a very expensive hobby if you aren't willing to make your furnishings or your buildings rather than buy them. I am also a paper crafter and the paper crafting support on the Internet is huge. Miniaturists don't have anything like what paper Crafters do. I do think, however, that if one reaches out to a club and joins a club they will find some of the most sharing people they've ever met. There is a National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (N.A.M.E.)that most of us belong to and on their website you can find many of these events that are going on throughout the year.Charlotte Zweigoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053428291881378072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-83025500156467334852016-04-11T17:29:29.814-04:002016-04-11T17:29:29.814-04:00I am amazed at the comments about miniaturists not...I am amazed at the comments about miniaturists not sharing.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this tutorial. Being a greenhorn when it comes to miniatures, I really appreciate you taking the time to share not just your plants; which are wonderfulbtw, but the ideas for creating leaves for plants. I can't say thank you enough! And I love lilacs, so I am waiting with much anticipation for a tutorial from you on making them.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09441596665189342167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-24144926615533525752013-09-17T14:58:32.774-04:002013-09-17T14:58:32.774-04:00Thanks everyone :-)

The easiest thing, though, might just be to draw them yourself or reduce a picture from a book and play with it a little on your computer.C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10952247376160094882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-30950521822066366962013-09-17T13:46:44.082-04:002013-09-17T13:46:44.082-04:00so beautiful!! where can I find the printables for...so beautiful!! where can I find the printables for the leaves?

Just one tip, though: ...Great tutorial, thank you!<br /><br />Just one tip, though: if paper clay tends to shrink as much as cold porcelain (~12% to ~20%), when completely dry it might tend to separate from the vase and your leaves level might change. So, even though I used that myself on my plants, for the future I'll try styrofoam or florist foam instead.Evelyne Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483031625698626781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339361064439824933.post-81397513676561790572013-09-15T19:36:37.411-04:002013-09-15T19:36:37.411-04:00Thanks for the tips, I had not thought of printing...Thanks for the tips, I had not thought of printing the leaves, it does give them added realism, along with the detailed embossing.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394749908398047600noreply@blogger.com
