Anyway, now I know what to do with all those pieces from my first classes that I couldn’t give away as well as hope for those “perfect tumblers” that aren’t always perfect.

Place one on it's side and viola! You can use little tools (chopsticks, bamboo skewers, to plant your items inside the vase). To keep it from rolling around, your could use some clear goo. You can find miniature plants online. I found one sight with some cool plants: http://www.violetbarn.com/miniature_houseplants.htm<br/><br/>I would love to create a more exquisite minimal terrarium with a seamless glass cube containing a "hill" of mounded moss, miniature ferns and acorns... if I could find a seamless glass cube. The only aquariums and terrariums I have found have unsightly silicone used to adhere the sides. I have looked all over the web for a seamless cube aquarium, terrarium or even an oversized vase.<br/><br/>If anyone has any suggestions on where I can find a seamless glass cube, I would greatly appreciate it!<br/><br/>Thank you!!<br/>Jeff<br/><br/>p.s. If anyone wants to create a terrarium make certain to put thin layer of fine charcoal below the soil to absorb bacteria. These are beautiful, a wee bit pricey though.
