These are some of the Terrariums I used to make.
I will be starting to make them again step by step and teach you that it's not hard and that you can put your own individual touch into your art and how to look after them.
They are fantastic living features that are low maintenance and make beautiful pieces of furniture.
I will also be making living candle holders that are natural and have living plants attached.
I will show you how to make large living wall pieces, Vertical gardens that are low maintenance and can be moved easily.
EXAMPLES:
Soon I will do D/Tube video's on how to make natural earthy, unusual and original living pieces of art.
I hope you like what you see and are interested, if so, see you soon.

Great artwork
Wonderful pieces of driftwood and all my favourite plants! Why did you give up making them for fleamarkets?
By Trade I am a qualified structural landscaper and designer. I had to stop working because of my health, so i tried a few different things that my physical health could handle.
So i came up with a few idea's and started making small things that reflected my trade.
The Markets were really successful and positive, but the logistics of packing, unpacking and setting up became a nightmare with glass and delicate art items.
So I gave that up quick. I started setting up and displaying all my products in a local cafe and that was positive, except people were touching everything and breaking, the wind was drying everything out and the shop assistants were not watering properly and I soon got over that pretty quick.
It seemed to hard to sell on line and ship around because things were delicate.
Living in quiet country town there was not alot of money or people, so i would have to travel 6 hours north and south to the nearest 2 cites. And i'm sure that they would have done well, but all of a sudden i was turning into what i wanted to avoid and that was working full time with my body breaking down.
So i decided to just do for enjoyment.
These are all the pitfalls involved with selling things you make, it's harder than many people think. I'm sorry to hear that your health is troubling you
thank you
Such beautiful pieces of art, great work!
Thank you
These are all wonderful things and you are very creative!
Thank you
Those are so beautiful! I can't wait to find out how to create them. What a good idea to share some tips! I often pick up pieces of driftwood on the beach, but have not made anything from them!
Great. I hope you enjoy
These are amazing! You are really talented. I can’t wait to see the step by step.
thank you
