These little terrariums are another beautiful example of art and nature working together to create something awe-inspiring. The New York artist, Paula Hayes, combined love for landscape design and small scale art to make these mini ecosystems in handblown glass containers. I love how all three artists use natural resources differently in order to create a piece of art that meant something to them. I may be completely out of line, however, I find the difference in scale from the two large scale observations (created by men) to this small scale observation (created by a woman) a little amusing. Makes me really think about the differences between genders.
Hayes makes all sorts of things! Her website is http://www.paulahayes.com/terrariums/. Below is just a taste of what else is on her website.
