Air Plants

The pictures below are of two different types of plants. They belong to the Bromeliad family and the Tiilandsia species. The bottom picture is of "Tillandsia Bulbosa" the other i am unaware of the genus. ANYWHO thanks to Lycie Culbert who took the photos with her incredible camera! Okay so this is an art blog not a gardening one, but i thought considering i created somehting is it not art? So what i did was use a log from a eucalyptus tree, silicon(specific type needed) a drill and a few Tillandsias. So its kind of self eplanitary now how i assembled it. But i always used countersinkign drill bits for a wdier shallow hole so less adhesive is needed. Regular silcicon is a VERY bad idea and should be avoided.

I have made one for myself, one for some family friends (to which payed $30 for it) and i am currently making another one. I hope that the demand increases as they make excellent table pieces.
