eBook editionsTerrarium Craft: Create 50 Magical, Miniature Worldsby Amy Bryant Aiello and Kate Bryant and Kate Baldwin
Staff Pick
If there's one thing I've learned through my wayward attempts at gardening, it's the importance of starting small, and it doesn't get much smaller than this. In Terrarium Craft, Amy Bryant Aiello and Kate Bryant not only cover the basics of terrarium building (from container, soil, and plant selection to decorative elements and care), but also guide the reader through 50 imaginative and easy-to-follow projects, such as "Rock and Rose," a clever pairing of split-rock plants and river rocks, "Test Tube Babies," which makes artful use of clear glass test tubes to showcase diminutive succulents, and, my personal favorite, "Mr. Carlyle and the Grumpy Bunny," which features an old book, a stern porcelain rabbit, and a carnivorous plant known as the "angry bunny." Filled with useful information, delightful projects and stunning photography, Terrarium Craft is an absolute treasure. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Easy to make and a wonder to behold, jewel-like terrariums are winning over a new generation of crafters and gardeners. From the simplest of combinations, like a single bromeliad paired with tiny fragments of driftwood in a miniature globe, to incredibly intricate worlds of stones and bones, feathers and ferns, terrariums today marry gardening, fine-art, science, and a touch of modern whimsy, and they are the latest craze in crafting and indoor gardening. Terrarium Craft is the first step-by-step project book for this new audience. Authors and nursery owners Amy Bryant Aiello and Kate Bryant offer up everything a beginning terrarium crafter needs to get started, from advice about tools and materials, information about plant choices and simple maintenance tips. 50 unique projects offer fantastical inspiration alongside easy-to-follow instructions and ingredients lists. From the nature-inspired combination of blue-tinted echevaria and a milky-white shell to the darkly beautiful pairing of pyrite, black moss, and begonias, there’s a terrarium for every taste and style.
