One of my projects this year is making terraria.

Part 2: Mixing Substrate

Part 3: Adding Mosses

Part 4: Dead Wood and Leaf Litter

Does anyone else enjoy the craft of making tiny ecosystems in jars?


Also, there's no tag list yet. Can I get tags for Photography, Photos, How To, and Terraria?

Oh wow, fascinating craft! I would never have thought of that, but it looks really neat!

(Though I have to say that I understood what the topic was based on the name of your parts, but it took me a while to accept that "terraria" is just meant as the plural of "terrarium" and not the video game Terraria x') I was imagining a Terraria terrarium! xD)

:D It's a lot of fun, and you can use all kinds of containers.

Not one of my fandoms, but it could be done. Some people like to model a terrarium after a specific ecosystem, or a park formation, or they stick in things to look like ruins. A fannish theme would work. Let's see, there's a suit of armor, buildings ... you could probably make those flying eyeballs out of a marble or ping-pong ball, or wait to Halloween decorations come out and look for an eyeball because I have definitely seen those. Suspend from fishing line.
