Miniature Half-Inch Scale "Whimsey" Plant Swap

Items in this swap of dollhouse plants were inspired by the "Whimsical Garden" of odd and whimsical miniature plants concocted by several members of Yahoo's Half Scale Group. Each month, swappers also made a theme plant for their own miniature half-inch-scale garden of whimsical or "whimsey" plants. Included here are some of the sample plants that I made and received in swaps for the given month. Eventually I plan to display them in a flower shop in a Tudor-type dollhouse. - Christine Verstraete, Verstraete Miniatures Gallery
