Plant Diaries | my first commission, moss terrariums, plant swap
Рет қаралды 149,669
Күн бұрынCalm days in my life. I got my first commission for a terrarium from the amazing artist pearfleur :o I'm pretty excited for this because I've always wanted to be an artist and commissions feel very "artist-y" to me haha. I hosted another plant swap, but this time at a coffee shop and my parents were able to make it! It was amazing to meet so many of you again :)
best,
benji

Sorry but as an artist who hears this question a lot, i had to pause the video the second you were questioning if you should call yourself an artist, to write this comment. YESSS! You are such an artist! You create, arrange, express, iterate, imagine, share, appreciate. All the basic elements that drive us to do what we do. You are an artist. Your medium is nature, and your content conveys a lot. Keep crushing it!

You absolutely are an artist! Your "canvas" are your plants, and your home. How you display your plants. Your aquariums are pieces of art, with water and the tank being your medium. The way you landscaped your balcony is art. Your photography is art. Your choice of music for the videos is art. You are an incredibly talented artist, who has not limited himself to just one type of art. I have just accidentally stumble across your channel this evening, and have been watching several different videos for the past 4 or 5 hours! You have given me much to think about, and much inspiration for how to display my own "green babies". You have also just inspired me to venture into another "habitat" for plants...water. OMGosh, the possibilities.... :) I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight, my mind is already whirling with idea at 100 mph. THANK YOU for the very relaxing, informative and inspiring videos!!!

There’s no doubt...You are a gifted artist by nature. 🌱 What I wouldn’t give to have half as much talent and design with plants. You have a authentic calmness and peacefulness that show through your plants. That is truly a gift that no money can buy. You are an artist and plants just happen to be your medium. Thank you for sharing your artistry with all of us.

Dude… what you do is more than Art. It’s a life style. It is Life. It’s a bondage that we form with Mother Earth. I grow different kinds of plants, cacti, and mushrooms at home and they are all beautiful. Which in my eyes is Gods Art that we get to enjoy and life with.
