My latest project - Hand made and dcorated terrarium - lots of pics

[canadiangecko]

insane work you could make good money with that kind of work

 

[OH23]

Thank you supperl and canadiangecko
how much would you pay for a work like this ?

 

[syntheticreality]

That is seriously incredible. I am not quite sure, did you make the actual enclosure yourself or just the interior and exterior decorations. Either way... WOW. I want one

 

[OH23]

Jason - Thank you for the nice reply.
I did make the actual enclosure myself and im really glad that you liked it. maybe i really should think seriously of openning a bussines for custom made terrariums too bad i live in Israel, because shipping rates ( to the U.S) will be a KILLER .

 

[canadiangecko]

i'd say abot 300-450 dollars!!

 

[cj.thomas21]

I like it.

 

[NB1230]

I think you could charge AT LEAST a couple hundred dollars for that.

 

[Emyo101]

that is amazing!! great job!!

 

[OH23]

thanks everyone AGAIN
the total cost of materials at the end, after alot of trail and error, was about $100 - $120, but dont forget that i got the glass for free and the piece of perspex on the top for free too.
if i would do a project like this again to sell it, i'd say $500 min since the endless hours of actually working on it are the pain in the a** . but hey, i just do this for fun, since these terrariums are standing in my living room, i wanted them to be atractive and natural.

[sixoracs]

good

its realy good how long did it take you to make it?

 

[OH23]

sixoracs - thanks for your reply.
"It took me about 2 months to complete the whole thing, but i had only 2-3 hours a day to put in the project ( the rest of the day i was busy with physiotherapy) and some days i didnt have time at all"

 

[Wreptile]

Looks fantastic!

Couple questions though..
- Where did you buy the dental cast?
- How did you color it?
- What did you use to keep the glass together?

Thanks.

 

[OH23]

Hayden - thank you for the compliment.
Regarding your questions :

I Live in Israel and i bought the dental cast at a local hobby shop, i bet you can get it very easily in the U.S as well.

I used non toxic acrylic paints from the local hobby shop and seald it with acrylic lac (the spray can kind)

If you ment by keeping the galss together to the terrarium glass itself, so i used non toxic aquarium silicon ( black).

if you have anymore questions i'd be happy to help.
