I admire the simplicity in structure and care of Air plants. Pick em up, water them and then shake them off and the rest of the time they are there for you to enjoy. I have nothing close to a green thumb so, it actually surprises me that I don’t have one of these yet. Well, for now. Its going to sit on my bookshelf until a very lucky person purchases it for their delight. Heh.

Sometimes people ask “well, could you make [this] out of felt?” when they see what I’m doing. Those questions stick with me as sort of a challenge in my invisible notebook (brain). As I experiment with this medium I am constantly learning what I can do and.. well I haven’t found too much that I want to do an can’t. Having the basic knowledge of how this wool fiber functions is my most powerful tool.
One more recent “question” was that of Lichen, could I make wool lichen?(Thanks Jeremy!) Well, I can, and I started small with this new terrarium. As I branch out from my mushroom infatuation the lichen will get bigger.
