This book looks fantastic. I bought teeny little deer and even teenier little mushrooms last month, and when Brandon saw and asked me about them, I sheepishly told him that I was going to make a terrarium for Eleanor. I think he thought I had gone a little nuts. I’m going to need this book for some inspiration (and to show him that terrariums can be cool).
p.s. The publisher is having a giveaway for Terrarium Craft, along with a DIY terrarium kit here until June 30.

June 14, 2011 at 8:16 amHello! I’ve made terrariums since I was 13 years old. They are beautiful gardens planted inside unique glass containers and are self-sustaining if done right. Have fun!

I love teeny tiny terrariums, but I never seem to think of them except when I’m drooling over someone’s!

June 13, 2011 at 11:15 pmI am ALL about terrariums. I’ve blogged about them in the past and coincidentally I have a blog about them coming out in the next day or so. I’m totally hooked! Can’t wait to see what you make =)

June 13, 2011 at 11:27 pmOh, I too slip into shy and sheepish when discussing what seem like random objects for somewhat-unspecified upcoming projects!
“Honey, why do we have all of these clear cylinders? Aren’t these what your prunes come in?”
Me: “Yes . . . they’re going to BE something . . . something very pretty . . .”

June 14, 2011 at 12:07 amThis is so cute! Love it. I completely understand your sheepish grin to Brandon thing – I will have to start secretly collecting for my own mini terrarium :)

June 14, 2011 at 1:04 amI made three terrariums last month :) and have been checking out etsy for miniature pieces to put in them. I haven’t splurged yet; I haven’t found the perfect items. :) This book looks awesome!

And then it died, and then we resurrected it :)
Can’t wait to see yours!

June 15, 2011 at 10:05 amI’ve been looking for a glass container for a bit now to make the perfect terrarium in. + I need to find objects to put it them. Where’d you find your mushrooms & deer?
