INSTRUCTIONS: From something that has died or ceased functioning, create a space for life to thrive.
Bonus points if humans inhabit its eyebrow.

Was at Thrift Town and saw this kerosene lamp that was no longer in fit shape to hold kerosene, so of course I thought, terrarium!

The first step was to seal up the wick hole with candle wax. Then I added pebbles, charcoal, and soil.

On top of the soil: moss, pebbles, and a couple of little sedum plants. Sedum (aka stonecrop) tends to grow in rocky crevices with very limited water and root space, so it seemed like a good pick for a small setup like this.

I gave the finished product as a birthday present. This was a fun project; I'm going to be keeping an eye out for more non-functioning glass things...

I think it would make a nice fish tank.

You could maybe keep some daphnia in there...
