101 in 1001 {II}: 061 make a terrarium [completed 10.01.11]

my apologies for the grimy photo; this is how lifestyle photography which follows one's morning run and precedes one's morning coffee goes down. terrarium-crafting, i have discovered, is extremely challenging; chopstick-assisted plant- and robot-sentry-placement is fine, but layering gravel and charcoal and dirt without approximating disco-era dry-lentil-and-pasta-sculpture is no mean feat. i found the borosilicate canister online, the little succulents under a tent at the union square greenmarket, and the blue fellow in a packet of robots and chocolate and licorice from amanda, who is good to me.

I like your roboterrarium. 

(My tape robot salutes your terrarium robot.)

I like the morning light. And the robot.

I can't really make out his face but the posture suggests he's getting his Edward Abbey on and he's psyched!

This looks fun, and the layering is spot on.
