Michelle Inciarrano and Katy Maslow create terrariums
in antique, vintage and new glass containers, apothecary
jars, science glass, kitchenware and any off glass
objects they find. But what makes their terrariums
really special are the ''tiny worlds'' they create
inside of the glass; a bride and groom on a mossy knoll,
a CSI crime scene, or Central Park in Spring, using
to-scale figurines and toys to create whimsical scenes.
With this book, readers will be able to do the same.
Tiny world Terrariums is an inspirational how-to-guide
that chronicles the recent terrarium renaissance and
presents, detailed, step-by-step instructions and photos
on how to build moss, succulent and plant-based
terrariums, including how to find usable glass
containers, how to choose the best moss, soil and
materials for filtration, how to choose plants and how
to care for the terrarium once it is assembled. Also
included are ideas for decorating the terrarium to
create that ''tiny world'' feel. Fifty completed
terrariums are featured in gorgeous, full-bleed photos
the components of each are explained so readers can
reproduce them exactly.Katy and Michelle run a
successful terrarium company, where they teach frequent
workshops and create finished terrariums and popular
terrarium kits. It was the demand for their DIY kits
that persuaded them to put their expertise in book
form. |
