I took a workshop today: Creating a Botanical Terrarium. It was at the most amazingly beautiful at and led by , stylist creative extraordinaire. (Have I told you how I love to work with stylists? I’ve worked with a talented handful and each one is so refreshing and inspiring, everyone should have a stylist in their life… or a few.)
I love terrariums. I think they are mystical magical lands where fantastic creatures can live. Have you ever watched moss bloom?
Fortunately, living in the Pacific Northwest, there is a lot of moss. Tons of it, it’s in our lawn, on our roof, and covering trees, especially in the woods. While the materials for this were supplied, I think terrariums are the perfect environment to display your nature walk findings. Chad shared some of the , with the beginnings approximately around the desire to watch a chrysalis.
We turned our works of art on lazy susans. (I also love lazy susans, they are probably on every single table in China btw.)
I wish I could tell you the name of the all the plants in my terrarium above, but instead, just marvel at their loveliness like I do. (Ok, there’s a fern in there, and some tree moss and some mood moss. For the life of me I can’t remember the name of the pink and green leafed beauty.) I have a plate covering my terrarium now, but I’m on the lookout for a fabulous clear class cover of some sort (LOVE the glass headlight Chad had at the studio.)
We could have made succulent terrariums too. I love succulents.
One of my favorite things are the “decorations”. Just think of the possibilities….
I really loved my workshop today. It was the perfect creative outlet. Reminded me that I need to make something every day (other than dinner and the bed).
