little houses of ecology

i remember my mom having a terrarium in our living room growing up. really the living room? the base was similar to the saarinen “tulip” base with a large acrylic dome top. and inside were not only plants and interesting foliage, but salamanders {grose}. really in the living room? well, terrariums are quite the trend these days with custom organic shaped glass, colorful cactus, and plants. without taking you back to the days of shag carpet. the following are some of my favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

  a. litill terrarium, beautiful hand blown glass from the pacific northwest

b.    tomte “homemade terrariums” (local shop and super cool)

c. domsai terrariums. 11” high with mouth blown glass. Weirdly appealing.
