moss!

I made a terrarium today.  It was quite a lot of fun to make--finding the items for it, putting it all together, and then watering it and looking at the miniature world.

It reminds me of something my mom and I made years ago when I was a kid.  We used a larger container--an aquarium, I believe.  And we used more plants than I did today.  But it was pretty much the same idea.

This one has two plants I bought at the mall, two varieties of moss I found outside (one growing on a tree and one on the ground), a large rock I found near the tree with the moss, two pieces from a geode that Aida smashed open awhile ago, a couple of twigs, and a metal D&D figurine.  I'd like to paint the figure at some point, but I like it as is, too.

It's very simple, but I like it.  It was fun to make, and I like looking at it when I'm sitting at the desk.  Having some vegetation in this room is a nice change.
