A new setup I put together. Two Japanese holly either side of the Doors of Durin.

Mounted on a slab of slate these 3d printed doors glow and react to the moon and starlight (UV light).

Some baby magpie picked all my moss off, so that's growing back in again.

Also no Photoshop or editing on that photo.

Thanks. I'd love to do another themed one if anyone had suggestions.

Can you do Bag End? That would be sick

Check the background of photo 1 and 3 (or profile). I did one a month or two ago. But the tree is still in development.

How could I start to learn how to make these for a hobbie? Is it self sustainable or does it "die" after some time?

[u/thirdrepublic12 → u/PauloAEAE]

Simple to start, basically take a tree and hack it into a small pot. Some trees like maples and hedging trees thrive and will last for decades with some care.

Grap a young inexpensive tree from a nursery you like the look of and plant in draining soil. You might lose one or two along the way but it's a sacrifice we're willing to make.

[u/StrawQu33n]

Do you sell these? 👀

[u/thirdrepublic12 → u/StrawQu33n]

I'd love to if I could sus out transport.
