An American creative has found an original way to combine the passion for science fiction film to that for i decorative terrarium, suitable for embellishing the home or desk of those who believe they do not have a green thumb, but who do not want to give up giving an unusual touch to the environment in which they spend most of their days.
The terrariums handmade by Tony Larsen are mainly inspired by the characters of Star Wars, but also by prehistoric creatures or those born from the imagination, such as draghi e Dinosaurs. They are born thanks to the recovery of toy models representing his favorite subjects, but also by buyers of all ages who ask Tony to make a custom terrarium.
The backgrounds on which characters from the past, fantasy or cinema are arranged, among which we can admire some of the creatures created by the mind of George Lucas, as Yoda, are meticulously made using soil, stones, colored stones, grass and synthetic mix. In fact, none of the terrariums contain any live seedlings, so that they can be shipped on demand anywhere in the world and anyone can take care of them even if they're not a skilled gardener.
In addition to the characters of the Star Wars saga, the terrariums made by Tony Larsen can contain inside miniature reproductions of prehistoric animals, divinities, mythological creatures, Egyptian sarcophagi, werewolves, unicorns and what can be suggested by the artist's imagination or whoever wishes to get hold of one of his terrariums.
The terrariums are spherical or cylindrical in shape and have as their base a globe or a glass jar, which can be fitted with a lid, hung from above or placed on a table, shelf or desk. Part of the collection of terrariums designed by Tony Larsen, who lives in Minneapoilis, is located for sale inside his Etsy shop, called The Wonder Room.
Each piece comes made entirely by hand and precisely for this reason it is to be considered as unique and original. They can represent a alternative gift to toys produced on a large scale, suitable for children and young people of the new generations or for those who would like to become a child again at least for a while.
And if Star Wars isn't your thing, you could try building your own mini-gardens with your favorite characters.
