lichen and work in progress

I replanted my terrarium and added a bunch of new lichen.

It’s very fancy lichen.

These are called pebbled pixie cups.

    Beuatiful terrarium!! I’ve been meaning to make one forever…perhpas I will now! Where does one get such snappy lichen?

    These look so gorgeous. The tiny organic forms are quite inspiring… their structures could make quite nice little print designs.

    Sigh, I saw one of your birds yesterday here in Melbourne, Australia. Although I suspect it wasn’t one of -your- birds. I wanted to say something to the shop owner but wasn’t sure - The shop is called Douglas & Hope (http://www.douglasandhope.com.au/)

    wow, those cup lichens are amazing…I have never see anything quite like it here on the west coast..just your pedestrian usnea/old man’s beard and the strangely beautiful rock lichens. my 8 year year old son and I have started our own terrarium thanks to your inspiration: baby tears, moss and such.

    What a wonderful terrarium. By the way, I think your birds are fantastic. I’m going to go check out your etsy shop now.
