Crafts: Movie Miniatures

The Hobbit Terrarium by Face of the Earth

Movie Terrariums by Face of the Earth
Terrariums available for purchase from Etsy. US$185 - US315

Rachel at Face of the Earth creates miniature ecosystems that are already populated with little lifeforms, along with the added bonus that they’re recognizable ones as well: you can find the Crystal Ship RV from Breaking Bad (along with Walt in his undies), the haunted house from Beetlejuice, and a Hobbit Hole with nary a Dwarf in sight to intrude.
"This terrarium is a 10" tall ecosystem. Inside this jar holds a VERY detailed miniature sculpture of a Lord of the Rings hobbit house, from the hanging lamp down to the sculpted bricks. Using reference from the films shots of the Baggins home, I sculpted a replicate of the structure which is built into a hill of moss, creating a multilevel terrarium. From the door a stone path leads to stairs. Reindeer moss, lichen and tiny fake flowers decorate the tiny, Middle-earth dwelling.

These terrariums create a sustainable ecosystem that you can keep anywhere in your home or office. With easy care instructions, anyone can care for these tiny worlds, from the most experienced botanist to those with a brown thumb. Included with your purchase is an easy care instruction fold.

Moss is harvested in the surrounding forests near me, and are 100% living and ready for someone to care for them!"

Beetlejuice Terrarium by Face of the Earth
"This terrarium is a 10" tall ecosystem. This particular terrarium is one I toiled over quite a bit, but enjoyed making. Sitting atop vast hills of moss in this wide jar is a scale model of one famously morbid ghostly house. It stands at only 1 1/2" tall, this miniature house was sculpted out of wax, and painted. I used a single hair brush for the window panes, and thin wire for the pillars.

The placement of the tree, the posts and dirt driveway are all accurately interpreted in this tiny living version of the haunted Connecticut house. Don't dare say Beetlejuice three times or you might find yourself in a pickle! Simply refer to the Book of the Recently Deceased.

These terrariums create a sustainable ecosystem that you can keep anywhere in your home or office. With easy care instructions, anyone can care for these tiny worlds, from the most experienced botanist to those with a brown thumb. Included with your purchase is an easy care instruction fold.

All moss is harvested in the surrounding forests near me, and are 100% living and ready for someone to care for them! (note: the tree is not living, it is dried moss) This terrarium will be made to order, the original has been purchased. The house and moss will vary slightly, but still have that classic cult film charm! Because of the amount of detail, please allow at least 3 weeks for shipping and to create."
Breaking Bad Terrarium by Face of the Earth
"This terrarium is an 11" tall ecosystem showing a Hand Sculpted and hand painted miniature interpretation of the well known opening sequence of this fantastic TV shows first season. Lining the bottom of this open terrarium are pieces of blue sea glass, closely resembling the blue crystals "Heisenberg" cooks. Alongside the crashed meth lab is the tiniest depiction of Mr. White you may ever see, handmade at about 1/4" tall, glasses tighty whities and all. The RV is a whopping 1/2" long, hand sculpted and painted. The desert scene is a slight DIY project, with lichen, a petrified mushroom, stones, a tiny tree and reindeer moss to create a great little sustainable ecosystem that you can keep anywhere in your home or office. With easy care instructions, anyone care care for these tiny worlds, from the most experienced botanist to those with a brown thumb.

For those who want a terrarium, and REALLY don't want to invest much time at all in care, this is the one for you. The moss and lichen used prefer less water than other types of moss."
