Hey guys, 50 followers means a giveaway will commence!

First of all, welcome to my new followers :)  Hugs all around!  Hopefully if you're here you love minis like me!  If you don't, then what are you doing here?  Huh? Huh?!!  Haha, jokes aside :)  Ok, so it looks as though most voted for the boxed potion set.  Who are you people???  You don't like hats?  Haha, ok.  You got me.  This simply means that now "I" get to make the giveaway gifts and I can't pawn the hard work over to the hat-making lady my Mom-in-Law Sherry :) 

No matter, I can and will put forth the supreme effort to make this happen!  Now...this will take me a tad bit because:   A)  I haven't started because I've been making talking roses for a client and B) I have an idea I MUST make happen and it requires something I don't have yet...a fancy bottle.  I have already made the potion from Harry Potter called Amortentia-the most powerful love potion in the world and I have also made living death draught.  NOW, what was the other potion called that the professor made to give away to the student who managed to brew a good living death draught?............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Liquid luck was actually called Felix Felicis.  And so I am searching for and will find in a timely manner a bottle I can use for this potion because I really want to make it!  I'll start looking on ebay tomorrow for a bottle close enough to the bottle used in the Harry Potter movie "The Half-Blood Prince".  Ok?  I have a bottle I could use but it really doesn't suit me as perfect enough.  It'll do if I can't find "the" bottle that looks like it.  Anyone with any suggestions as to another potion title they would think of as cool let me know pronto!  I'm going to be making two at least.  The poll is now closed, as is the thread to add your name to the giveaway.  I had 14 messages on that post so I know who put their names in and will draw as soon as I make my 3 items for the giveaway.  I will let you all know the minute I know, ok?

Now, I promised to show you all pictures of the Alice in Wonderland talking roses as soon as I made them.  Well thanks to family commitments I've only finished two of the nine so I'll have to post those later as I make them.  For now, I can show you these.  The first one is a middle-aged lady rose inspired by the Chicago Peace Rose as pictured here:

Ok...that one is pretty perfect, and it's a major bummer that I am not that perfect.  I did the best I could do with polymer clay though, and eight months experience sculpting it:

And then there's my baby boy rose here who's all tuckered out and sleeping.  He's inspired by a rose called the green ice rose and I chose this rose because I needed a "boy" color and there really isn't a decent true blue rose out there that I know of.  I figured a white rose with a hint of pale green streaks through the white would be suitable for a baby boy.  And you really can't tell very well by the pictures but his arms/vines are curled up like a baby sleeping in this position:

Here is the picture of the rose that inspired this little boy:

and here is "my" version of this rose and keep in mind my pictures never do anything I make justice because my camera is icky:

I'll have to add a couple more pictures tomorrow after I take some outside because my camera can't handle these at all :(  Oh well.  I'll tack some on tomorrow after I shoot them.

Ok two new pictures:

Ugh, icky rainy day out though
