049

These are succulent arrangements I put together as christmas gifts this past year. 
I made this one using 2 glass containers and connecting them with self drying clay (I tried to make it look like stone but it doesn't show very well in the photograph.). Then I added some fabric to the bottom so the planter wouldn't scratch whatever surface it was placed on. 
These 3 are ones I ended up keeping for myself because I had quite a few extra succulents. 
The only other planter I worked on was the cup in this pic. It was an antique cup I found while looking for old pottery/ceramic shards a few years ago. The handle was missing so I remade it using sculpey and then painted it + the inside of the cup. 


I don't have much of a green thumb so I'm happy that none of them died in the process of transplanting them (though a few came close). I had to get my mom to help me with the first of 2 transplants and to help me pick out the proper soil, extra. Needless to say I don't think I'll ever be a gardener, but I will be putting more of these together in the future.
