At first, I wanted birds, butterflies, yes even frogs :). The direction then changed and you will find out why I have decided against the birds and the bees (teehee) except eggs. <br /><br />We have frogs in our garden but only when it rains. These days, it is not often I hear their croaking. <br /><br />About Memphis, well, I will write you . Its quite separate from me visiting the US. I am planning a trip there though and if I am near you, I will love love love to meet up :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-86859725611982181752012-07-26T05:45:10.768+08:002012-07-26T05:45:10.768+08:00This is incredible Sans, and how wonderful to make...This is incredible Sans, and how wonderful to make it a 'collaboration'.

If he remembers me fondly and thinks me wonderful because of our Special Saturdays, then my life has added meaning to it. :):). I hope your aunt felt that way about her life :).<br /><br />There is a documentary series on History Channel called Life After People. I watched only 1 episode and only for 10 minutes. I think it was somewhere in the US, an industrial town :). Yes, there was a lot of dilapidation and rust and toxic air :). But I believe that with time, Mother Earth will make everything right again without humans' destructive ways. <br /><br />This project took a turn after we made the 1st flowers :). We really started out trying to make a regular junkyard just to see if I can. I really love the masculinity in model building. Guess this is not one of those project :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-13578721154126981022012-07-21T15:44:46.089+08:002012-07-21T15:44:46.089+08:00I love all the colors you used in this project!

But imagine if I had an aunt like you are to Nat and Jewel, who makes such wonderful projects, such an imaginative diorama world-within-a-world! <br /><br />It's so interesting, I'm reading a book called The World Without Us, about what would happen to the planet if people suddenly vanished. Your autogarden could be the book cover, the way nature has taken over and made its way with the machines we value so much. I can hardly believe how fast the forest takes the world back, drifting and tangling and drifting back onto all the things we have built. Your project is so much more profound than I imagined it would be when you all first started...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065689076495630286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-76198792485176515892012-07-20T15:59:32.770+08:002012-07-20T15:59:32.770+08:00Margriet, a girl can only hope :):)Margriet, a girl can only hope :):)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-73672812994792691932012-07-20T15:59:15.513+08:002012-07-20T15:59:15.513+08:00Muchas gracias, Eva Tata :) :) :) La frase: "...Muchas gracias, Eva Tata :) :) :) La frase: "Que bien te queda" significa "bien hecho"?Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-87416025939255081382012-07-20T06:16:43.766+08:002012-07-20T06:16:43.766+08:00Que bien te queda, consigues un efecto tan real.

Everything is possible, nothing is too crazy. After this project, I am already thinking of working with each and everyone of my nieces and nephew (2+1 more apart from Nathaniel) on a project but the educational system in Singapore is crazy demanding. <br /><br />Soon even Nathaniel won't have time to come over anymore. I hardly see his sisters, the eldest one is having entrance exam this year. :(Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-32375687692035587212012-07-19T22:57:44.346+08:002012-07-19T22:57:44.346+08:00Wow, Ara, perfect?

I like imperfect :):):) but perfect from you is certainly high praise :). <br /><br />Water always makes me apprehensive. That's why I thought this part would take some time just not as long as it actually did. <br /><br />Resin and hardener need 24 hours to harden and if it doesn't work, the next round is another 24 hours. So you wait with bated breath. But trust me, I have tried many ways, the last being real water. Resin and hardener beats them all. <br /><br />Get a good brand like Craftsmart. Superdupe easy. :)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-55368998832512125082012-07-19T22:49:13.611+08:002012-07-19T22:49:13.611+08:00I love it!!!
