A river runs through it...

I managed to hold off on making more terrariums until I had the day off. So 1/4 of my four day weekend was spent working on these.  This one is for my aunt. It's just a simple plant that needs good lighting. She has no pets, so she doesn't have to worry about feline interference. With no lid, it can grow as big as it wants and it will look like trees surrounding the little deer. The only problem with it is, like most of these projects, it's just too easy to make. It took me more time to assemble all my tools and supplies on the picnic table than it did to actually put the thing together.



And here's the lemonade dispenser terrarium. It turned out pretty good! I have no idea what the plants are since neither of them came with any identifying cards. Hopefully the light from the dining room window will be enough for them because that's where they're going to live for now.



I used the awesome pearly glass marbles to make a river running across the front of the property. The figures I glued to flat rocks work well, though they're a tiny bit too big to actually get through the door of the house. Hopefully, perspective-wise that little detail won't really be noticeable. 




So once again I procrastinated a day away. I know what I want to do with the story I need to write, I just can't seem to get myself to the point of actually sitting down and doing it. With these projects out of the way, hopefully I can devote the next three days to some actual work.
