I finally had a chance last weekend to get over to Terrain with the dude and meet up with some friends for a yummy lunch at their cafe and pick up my terrarium supplies.
added pebbles and charcoal
added some potting soil
organized the plants
shoved the plants, lovingly, with a chop stick into the soil
Hello.
Ta da!
I just need to get some little accessories to add to it... little deer, little mushrooms and maybe a little garden gnome that will tend to the plants.
When I was at A.C. Moore over the weekend, I saw these little kits for making school diorama projects (side note: do you really need a kit for something that can be done in a shoebox?), and you could buy accessories like little deer, native Americans, and other tiny figurines. I suppose you could just buy little action figures, too, but I recall thinking these were pretty cheap.
ReplyDeleteThese aren't it, but you get the idea.
I remember buying those little things for a diorama project as a kid. I'm pretty sure it was at Radix. I really loved it. Ahhhh, memories!
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for visiting my blog! This is such an awesome idea! It looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful terrarium! Make sure to remove the lid for a few hours every week or so to let the plants get some air circulation!
