custom terrariums

two custom jobs completed lastnight! yup count em' two! and then some!
this first one is for a dear young man that is a talented musician and creative soul. this terrarium is a special gift for someone who told him to be stand out and to take the bull by the horns. i am totally digging the turquoise sand...


AND... in other custom jobs... a gift for the gardener...

stuffed

my studio is jam packed, my car too, not to mention my living room turned shipping and receiving room. this photo i found on freckle farm paints a prettier picture than what i am living with but it sure is relatable. have i mentioned how excited i am for the renegade craft fair!!!! oh man now that my wall is built i can sleep a little bit easier. kinda! cheers to more shoving of things in my car!

my weekend

sometimes i feel like i just get busier and busier. but i am not complaining. i am very thankful for my full lifestyle. this weekend was extra good times. i installed, had an opening and built my wall for my renegade craft fair booth! lots of hard work! i am afraid i may be sore tomorrow but it was all worth it! to see more photos from the common threads opening check out squirrel hobbies.

thank you the curious pug!

what a super way to be greeted in the morning, with a lovely post / interview on the curious pug! alycia's blog is lovely. you should check it out regardless of the exciting terri planty spotlighting. i have been a fan for some time now!
thanks again!

make love plant a garden

this is one of my favorite new series of terrariums. they say what needs to be said MAKE LOVE PLANT A GARDEN. i hope you love them as much as i do. i just imagine that someone has one in their home or business and a person approaches the terrarium curious about the sign and then boom! the little person is staring right back at them with a message. see! even domestic objects can make a statement beyond i look great.

custom terrarium

this little guy is gonna make it! he is almost there! oh man the rush! the beauty of nature! the power of ambition!
alright enough drama... this terrarium portrays a young man mountain climber. yup. he is in action and surrounded by lush mother nature. the lady who requested this custom job is a landscaper (a mother nature herself!) and major inspiration. she is one of the folks that encouraged me to pursue my dreams in horticulture. so i am especially excited to present this for her. this is a gift for her son the mountain climber. pretty cool, huh?!

more new terrariums!

tonight i was like a terrarium making machine! so exciting when you have new toys to play with (aka plants and mini peeps!). i am sorry the photos are iphone photos, a bit stylized and blurry. real photo shoot coming soon. in the meantime i thought this might serve as nice little terrarium appetizer!
