Here is a link with photos from Terri Weifenbach (American, b.1957 )

I've been trying to make identical blurs, but it seems impossible to get closer. Do you know any photos similar to this ones?... Do you know how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

I'm not positive exactly what you're looking to duplicate - something that looks a little like motion blur or more of a depth blur... some of that stuff looks more like motion, but I'm not sure.
Do you mean like these?:
 
(They aren't beautiful, sowwy. Just ran out and snapped a couple quick shots)

| I may be wrong, but most photos seems to have image stabilisation (Canon's IS) or vibration reduction (Nikon's VR) type of artifact in the out of focus area. |

Have never seen the LensBaby.
Has anyone used it and what do you think?

LensBaby out of focus area is much more creamy looking. The photos in the referenced site above have the kind of busy out of focus elements typically associated with optically stabilized lens.
Am I the only one that think so? |

That's what I thought, too, about some of them. |

Could also be done with a mirror lens--Here's two examples using a Nikkor 500mm mirror lens. Background has similar effect to the photographer; effect is magnified with a close focus object.

You might be able to do it purely in software as well.

Is this done in-camera? I think it is post processed. Maybe the background was shot seperately, out of focus, and then edited to give it a watery look. Hmm...
Or maybe, the backgrounds are not real at all. They might be a painting or something.

I've just loaded Photoshop so can't speak to that, however there is a tool in PS elements called an impressionist brush which gives that effect. You may have to separate out the background to apply the tool and then caussian blur but I think you'll get that effect.
