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!

new terrariums

today was yet another productive day. first i completed some drawings for my upcoming show with jen bruce, common threads. after the painting, terrarium mania! today was especially exciting because i received my fresh batch of tillandsias aka air plants yesterday. they are so beautiful. i gave the plants homes and some even got their peeps situated. below is a sneak peak. (i am loving the half bowl shape! and the two teeny tiny chairs! a perfect place for conversations, two seats to share small secrets - hee hee!)

p.s. sorry for the lack of shop updates on etsy. i am focusing on getting ready for the big renegade event and doing custom work. if you want a custom order in time for the holidays - get in touch! i would love to create something special for you!

air plants, the solution

i get quite a few emails with folks concerned about the proper lighting for their terrariums. many of which work in an office that has no or little natural light and is limited to fluorescent lights. to those plant desiring light worried friends i say, a tillandsia aka. air plant is the solution!

these lovely plants can lead healthy lives shined on by the lovely light of fluorescent light in your office or home. i would recommend however, considering the fast approaching holidays, that you take your plant land home with you when you are away for long periods of time. but duh! in that time spent at home a lovely lazy day by the window with some bright indirect sun would be just sweet.

in other tillandsia care news. i have found that these lovelies are healthiest when feed rain water. collect it! or perhaps let your plant visit the outdoor showers for a short bit. if you don't have rain water you may leave some water out in a container and use after a few days. or distilled water is good too. however if tap is all you got. so be it. you should be a-ok.

i just got a fresh batch of air plants. so excited to make them homes. the last one is fragrant!

vintage hunt

i always like to see what vintage vessels are out there. this one totally caught my eye. swap out the roses for some succulents and we are good to go! too bad it sold. poo poo. so cute.

succulent wreath

last night was very productive in getting ready for the renegade fair. angelica made lot of macrame goodies (they are gorgeous - i want every single one!) and i did inventory and made a succulent wreath. here she is... (i kept this wreath because i promised myself one two years in a row and never came through!). i will be making these wreaths in a variety of sizes AND! they will also features some exciting little scenes. i am awaiting my little people / animal / furniture shipment. can't wait!

custom terrarium

i made this little treasure for my parents. it was an anniversary gift. the beard was part of the custom work. my pops has had a fabulous beard for a while now. the piece of wood they are standing on is from the desert. they are going for a stroll amongst nature, enjoying each other's company.

p.s. my parents rock. i got both of them on board for booth building mania. exciting!
