…terraria?! i made mine by getting some activated charcoal from the pet store, and put a layer of that, a layer of pebbles, a layer of soil, and tromped around the woods for fun mosses and whatnot. i even made a tiny one out of a horseradish jar.

holiday nature ornaments with deer and butterfly

another in a long series of deer-obsession pieces…a project for a snowy afternoon in Vermont: holiday nature ornaments. these look pretty nice even though they’re plastic and not glass. I used some scrap sheepskin but cotton batting would work too. Craft foliage and random little animals are so cute — if I had more globes I would put in some acorns and whatnot.

holiday craft with trees and deer

i’ve been saving these cardboard craft cones…now i know why.

i took a lot of leftover scraps of yarn, buttons, velvet, beads and lace and glue gunned them onto the trees. they sit like a tiny mighty forest on top of my piano.

craft cones covered in yarn, beads, glitter, etc.
