  • As you know, I thoroughly enjoy working with moss and making small, detailed projects. I figured starting off 2024 with a fun project like this was the way to go. It combines common elements like Dragon Stone and Moss to create something unique and special. In fact, it’s probably one of my favorite small moss projects that I’ve done in a long time. I also think it will be a great piece to have in the background of build videos on the studio's counter. What do you think? Let me know in the comments and enjoy the video!

    It felt great to finally start building in the new studio. I can’t begin to explain how much better the workflow was! It was great to work with moss again as well. I hope you all enjoy the video, and I can’t wait to share what’s next. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

      How do you keep these from molding? I tried one of these but it died within a couple weeks due to mold.

    it didn't occur to me that that little sand pit was actually going to serve such a smart purpose, literally thought you just wanted a zen sand garden to chill out with 😂 but using it to test out your scapes is so clever i love that.
    EDIT: wow i guess i wasn't the only one lmao

      It's actually something fish stores now offer for their customers buying rocks and wood. Except breaking rocks into smaller pieces. I don't think they'd like that part. :D

    I love how you basically built what could be a huge, inspiring landscape into a tiny space. I could just imagine being ant-sized and marvelling at this scape near some hidden jungle coastline.

    I’ve been thinking a lot and, I’m realizing how much of a positive affect this channel has had on my life. The hobby of aquarium making I’ve gained has added something really nice to my life and I really appreciate everything the whole SerpaDesign channel and ideas have helped me personally.

Can't wait to see what you do for 2024. I love the room tours, upkeep vids, builds, thought process, well all of it. Much love to you from the mossy PNW.

    It's also so beautiful and visually interesting. I always come away from these videos feeling calm yet inspired. This build in particular reminded me of visiting california as a lad and I found this tiny cave with algae growing all around it. I was able to fit in it back then! Thanks again
