I build miniature terrarium scenes with live moss, driftwood, stone, and the occasional skull. Quiet stories in glass—some cozy, some a little cursed. Based in the desert, dreaming of moss filled forests. #AtomicCityTerrariums

The build has officially begun! First pieces of cork and grapevine are in place for my large terrarium setup.

Large glass terrarium in the early stages of construction. Pieces of cork bark are attached to the back and sides, with curved grapevine branches positioned diagonally across the enclosure. The bottom is still bare with scattered rocks and bits of substrate, showing the beginning of a naturalistic setup.

These tall glass cylinders can be tricky to use, and I wanted something other than the standard moss wall design. Hopefully it grows. 🤞🏻🌿

Finished my Bone Temple inspired terrarium. Rather than try and make a complex scene, I found the “less is more” approach to be appropriate.

Not a bad list at all. Several would be on mine as well.
