terrariums

back in elementary school we were put to the task of constructing terrariums in big glass containers and i've been thinking lately of creating a new one (once i'm done moving). so i went searching for some inspiration and came across paula hayes who creates these amazing little environments in wonderful glass blobs...some not so little. plants really do make a space feel more cheerful and alive. just to know there's a beautiful little green life that depends on you for the occasional watering is kind of nice. i then discovered hayes's other projects like living necklaces...

which instantly reminded me of a project in the works by debi van zyl who has been knitting moss pockets out of metal thread
