Golden Barrel Cactus

Oh this? Just a flatbed of 12"+ Golden Barrel cacti. Please note the super heavy-duty leather gloves peeking in the corner there.
Near Fredericksburg, TX.

Terrarium Preview: Monochromatic Red

This monochromatic red terrarium has lava rocks, a haworthia and another succulent, and a lady in a bikini sunbathing on a rock! The rock is a piece of slag glass. Slag glass is a byproduct of the iron industry; this piece was collected near an iron furnace in New England that ceased production in 1898. 

This terrarium is in an upcycled glass vessel and will be available at the Dox in the Dez table at the Punk Rock Flea Market in Philadelphia this Sunday, May 13.

Long Island Thrift Review

We went thrifting in Long Island on Friday and it was kind of... meh. I was hoping that if we went out far enough, it would not be too picked by people from NYC, but I don't think that's the case.  

I still got some pretty good stuff. Some good planters- I particularly like the brown lava glaze planter, I am tempted to keep it. I also got a small Stoneage Modern planter (from Zanesville!), a hanging studio pottery planter, little elephant planters, Dansk glass candleholders, and a Catherine Holm saucepan. I was very excited to find the Catherine Holm, since I've been keeping an eye out for it and was beginning to think that her designs are just not to be found on the East coast. Unfortunately it is missing the lid, but it's in really good shape otherwise. 

El Camino Terrarium

Here's the terrarium I made last fall for the Potted Store contest. Which I did not win. Blast.
