That framework had solidified within about an hour, and was completely dry within 12. I didn’t have a blueprint I started by making walls using 5×7-inch pieces of glass, siliconing a clean seal at the edges.
My idea was to create a cozy glass home for my favorite mosses and succulents, and as I began to build it, a small glass house formed. I excitedly made two small purchases for this project: 1) a glass cutter, something I’ve been wanting and could probably have used on several occasions already and 2) silicon gel, which is basically a clear, flexible glue that’s not messy and very easy to work with. I’ve collected picture frames for as long as I can remember, but over time, the frames have broken, been ignored, and retired, leaving me with lots (really, lots) of glass panes in a variety of sizes. I’m not sure if this will actually become a terrarium (it might end up being a candle holder centerpiece now that I’m seeing it come together and writing this post) but here’s an effort in using extra glass panes to create something different for the home.
