Meadow Boot Cidery

[Zilmrud]

Out in the wilderness of Avalonia there are all kinds of creatures, big and small. You don't always notice them. In a meadow, some of the small folk have settled down in an old, abandoned boot.

Here they grow berries from which they make good cider drinks. They are especially fond of lingonberries.

I used some of the botanical flowers because I like them as they are. And also a used scala pieces and 2 Duplo pieces =)

This such a great idea.  The vibrant colors and plants really draw you in.  The different plants and insects are so detailed.  The old boot design is wonderful.  This whole build just seems alive great job.

Great job!  I didn't realize the building was a boot right away!

Thanks alot. It's my primary goal with builds that I show on exhibitions. That the observer wants to go into the build and walk around. The boot was the fiest thing I built. And the part that took the most time.

Really well done Peter @Zilmrud Colourfully balanced and awesome use of the botanical collection! I really like the composition of the different colors in the base and great shape of the boot as well!

Such a fun build, as I said on Flickr the mix of scales is really cool.  I love the berry patch and the big flowers.

This is so whimsical and fantastic, I love it!

Amazing work! Some of the details that stand out to me:

• The use of the dome to represent berries, where the stud becomes the flower-end
• The green grass stalks with stacks of 5-petaled flowers on top. I see grass like that every spring and summer!
• Flower headpieces repurposed as actual flowers
• You get a sense of the interior structure of the boot/factory from those tiny little windows in the side
• Old wine bottle as a greenhouse!

It's all so charming!

What a wonderful fairytale place!
The size of the plants is incredible to understand how tiny its inhabitants are!

Totally cool!
