Shape,
First off ...
to ATP and the Miniature Gardening Forum!
Second .... Fabulous project you are doing for your wife.
Third ..... Sorry to hear you are already married (and so am I). You certainly have some amazing talent and skills that many women would be thrilled to have in a husband!
Fourth .... Very impressed that you make your own blocks! Are the trees real bonsai plants or fake?
Fifth .... Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring and enviable project in photos! Your wife is very lucky to have a husband do such a gift for her!
You mentioned that you made your first project (a miniature garden) a year ago. I would love to see photos of it, too!
An awesome job!!!
