I have a 28 mm model of the Greek goddess, Hera (aka Juno for Romans). Lillies were her flower, so I thought I'd use them to cover her base. However, I can't find any 28 mm lilies.
Does anyone know of somebody who makes 28 mm lilies? Alternatively, does anyone know how to go about making 28 mm lilies? Grelber |

White Lily Tiny Flowers by Gamers Grass…but they're quite small & I think Hera deserves better. Have you considered trawling through Doll's House accessories?
At the last Show I was at, they had a couple of stands of Doll Houses & I remember seeing a flower garden with lilies, though these may be too big. |

Hera deserves BIG lillies. Try to tell her she doesn't. |

Check out a craft store doll house/miniature selection.
Hobby Lobby or Michael's might have something that would work. |

I hadn't thought of doll house flowers. I will look into that Monday. I knew a couple of the companies that make clumps of vegetation for bases made some with white flowers," but when I looked at then, they seemed to be more the size for baby's breath or perhaps small wildflowers than something the size of lilies.

Who doesn't wish to offend Hera by giving her little flowers |

You're welcome. I thought of origami as well as Doll House stuff but I'm sure this would be difficult to reduce it to 1/56 scale. I know they do micro-origami using tweezers, sewing needles, light weight paper & magnifying glasses etc & you could look it up on Google, if you are sufficiently handy/patient. |
