On Friday night I did something reprehensible involving a church yard, an egg flip, and the biggest, greenest, spongiest patch of moss you've ever seen.

I spent most of Saturday in search of sphagnum moss and horticultural charcoal.

Before I found moss and charcoal, I found cake tins, a spatula, marbles, plastic animals and aluminium foil, so it's lucky we found the moss and charcoal when we did...Although I'm pretty sure I can find a use for those marbles.


Anyway, with my search fulfilled, I got down to business. But not before I whipped up this cheesy graphic:


I followed the terradctl tutorial. Didn't follow it very well, I don't think. Turns out, it's not as easy as they make it sound. Also, turns out that playing with moss, dirt, and charcoal in the kitchen is what is normally considered a bad idea. Live and learn.

Terra Zebralis ("Moss Zebra") is a rare and unique species that lives entirely on moss and air.

The Deertelope suffers from an identity crisis. Left to mull over his strange appearance in solace, he is a creature of melancholy in the moss.

Everyone's got hobbies, right?
