Terrarium's are all the range now.
They are quite easy to make yourself.
Start by filling a glass vase with small rocks, at least 2 inches, then a layer of soil.
Start planting your plants well into the soil.
Fill up with smaller plants, rocks, people or whatever you want to place in your little "world".
And voila, you are the master of your own little universe.
Taking a week off blogging now.
Going upstate to shoot a BBQ book, will have no time to blog.
Have a great week.

I love it and have an unused glass vase that will be perfect for this. I just wondered if anyone knew which plants were used above? It is such a lovely texture and colour combination.
