Terrarium experiment



I'm now experimenting with terrariums. Check this out. I layered it with pebbles, charcoal, moss, topsoil and then a few seeds and this sensevaria plant.

It was interesting getting all that in through the little hole in the top. I will see if it all grows and post updates through the next couple of weeks.

Another Completed Commission

Tessa the mistress of wonderful cooking and Grad Student extraordinaire, requested a viking knit necklace much like the one I was commissioned to do for Sparkly Lady. She has a sensitivity to copper though so she wanted it our of silver. I got some silver wire and got to work. I had originally planned to use some copper and paint it for the end caps and clasp but I didn't like the look of that so I caved in and bought some silver findings to complete the piece. Here it is.
