Crazy Moss Ball Terrarium but It's NOT What You Think

  • I've been making terrariums for many years now. There are countless things I enjoy about them, like capturing nature, but the thing I really wanted to focus on in this video, is how they're able to encapsulate memories.
    As most of you know, I recently moved. The last thing I had to do was clean the pond and collect the fish. As I did that, I really enjoyed the sights of the pond and my yard. I also got sentimental about the time spent there and I got to thinking - I should make a terrarium to capture those memories. However, one thing led to another and I ended up making three of them... I also found some INCREDIBLE elements that made for some truly unique and memorable pieces.
    The rest of the video speaks for itself. Let me know what you think in the comments and enjoy!

    What do you think about the terrariums and the finds from over the fence? I couldn't believe all of this, but I was very excited about it. Seriously, how cool is the moss ball and the Slice bottle?! Let me know wheat you think, enjoy the video, and have a great weekend!

    I love these so much because they're three entirely separate stories, but they're all connected. One is the pond, one is the baseball you found, and one is the history of the house. Amazing!

    At 10:55, you can see a cute little isopod crawling in the moss 😍 love these builds, they are all so special and unique!

    Man, I came expecting one terrarium and left having seen three! Triple value! And as a fellow moss enthusiast, I can't even imagine how excited I would be seeing those baseballs in the woods. 😅

  • @speedwaymethadrine
    @speedwaymethadrine Год назад +34

    i've always felt a weird connection to moss. my childhood home had a pretty big yard and there was no grass, just moss - i remember just sitting on the ground and staring at the moss and the bugs in it. even these days i go into the woods, sit down and stare at the ground. i've seen so many beautiful things, two of my favourites are when i watched tadpoles swim around annoying the dragonfly larvae in a little pond overgrown with plants and the time i watched a spider spin a whole web. moss, bugs and aquatic plants are my favourite things in the entire world.
    the baseball is oddly beautiful, normal everyday objects covered in moss always are - i once found a couch covered in moss and i kind of wanted to bring it home. beautiful terrariums as always :)

    If I found that pond in my backyard, I would notice every plant species and all the critters enjoying it! I have a whiskey barrel pond that I reworked this spring, inspired by you! It’s gorgeous.

    I just need to say thank you 🙏🏻 because of your channel, I now have a great hobby that includes my interest for plants more than just buying a plant and putting it on my shelf . I have autism and ADHD. This hobby helps me a lot to focus, meditate and relax. It also stimulates my special interests which are moss, plants, bugs and the colour green.
    Thank you thank you thank you for your teachings.

    Neat setups! Really cool idea to use materials from the old house. It seems like such a nice sendoff. My parents recently sold my childhood home, and this video gives me some ideas on how to better come to terms with it. Thank you so much for everything you do!

  • @yourlocaltoad5102
    @yourlocaltoad5102 Год назад

    The idea of using material from a specific area to create a piece that connects you to the area is very beautiful and inspiring.
    Nearly 3 years ago my dad bought my grandmothers house after she died and he really loves to spend time there, but he lives and works here in the city about 250km away from it, so he can’t spend more than maybe two weekends per month at the house.
    I think I will accompany him on his next trip to the house and gather plants and soil from the garden so I can build a terrarium and give it to him for Christmas so he can always have a piece of his childhood home close to him.
    If the plants have already died back due to the cold, I‘ll just wait out on the idea, use the time to find the perfect container and then gift it to him for his birthday in June.

    Love the moss-covered ball. There's a satisfaction in seeing some cast off human-made thing repurposed by Nature.
    I spent a couple of winters in my RV on the Texas Gulf Coast beach. After storms, I would find ordinary items flung up on the shore, that had become home to plants and little clams on their journey through the Gulf. Coconuts, shoes, wooden boat parts, all transformed into beautiful objets d'art by the sea. I even found a round, solid wood knob the size of a bowling ball, which I guessed to have broken off a newel post on a staircase during a hurricane. Perhaps it had rolled all the way from the Caribbean...
    Anyway, I enjoyed watching you build all 3 of the terrariums (terraria?). I hope the memories they stir in you make you and your family smile for many years to come.

    What a great idea! I'm not a very sentimental person but I do understand why others are and I think what you have done will definitely help keep your memories of that home for a long time! That ball is amazing! Hope your new home brings you guys the same happiness as your first one! Cheers!

    AND a forest in my garden. I love your wedding terrainium idea, so lovely 😍 good luck with the new terrainiums, they look awesome. I wish you and your beautiful wife many happy years in your new home with all your beautiful fish, frogs and lizards ⭐️🌞

    Oh what a great idea! My husband and I are hopefully buying a home soon and while I am excited to leave our current studio loft apartment, we've been here for almost 9 years and I'll miss it somewhat, but we have a shared yard space that has some great wee spots to gather moss and such. It will be a nice reminder of our humble beginnings while we whimisyfy our own garden (fingers crossed)

    This was so inspiring! We have a lot of bottles we have found on our property built in 1882, many of them duplicates and this is a great idea of something to do with them. As well as the fragments of pottery, glass, and other items we have also found being pieces inside along the plants. Thank you so much for inspiring us with your art and creativity.

    Your work is always amazing, even without the process of creation and the stories behind it. But these three terrariums, and the sentiment behind each one, is just something special to me.
    The Slice bottle probably could sell for a good amount of money too, even with a terrarium in it! But I have a feeling you won't be letting go of it. That mossy baseball is a dream find for me. The third jar with plants and substrate from your yard and pond is both beautiful physically and emotionally. Even though you have to leave this house behind, you won't forget it, and these terrariums will serve as a reminder of it every time you see them.
    Wish you and your wife all the best!
