My client and now friend Laura shared this project with me.  What could be better on another dark day than orchids?

The best part of this project is the expense.  Because all the supplies are available at Ikea, the whole thing can be done for less than $30.  The square glass vases are a part of my repertoire.  I use them in my business all the time.  They run from $3 to $24 for a huge 18″ concave version.  The one pictured is $6. 

Laura layered her glass marbles.  The shiny/matte contrast gives a bit of dimension.  The orchid goes in next, with the moss from the pot. 

Water your orchid, but don’t over saturate.  Place in a sunny area and enjoy!
