The Shoe
As some here know, I have a collection of inanimate manmade objects that I keep as accents on my benches, mainly shoes. Most often I find them in the bush & relocate them to my garden to mature, occasionally I find one that is ready for display...
This is my latest find, home to several types of moss & lichen all I need to do is find a suitable display pot for it. To maintain its condition it needs to be kept on a soil bed, located where it can receive the rain & most importantly the nightly dew.

Re: The Shoe
Just gorgeous! What sort of pot? A suiban, or a pot with holes? Do you have a possible pot in mind for it?

Re: The Shoe
Thankyou Val, it is amazing what nature can create 
I have made a number of very shallow trays that would be suitable once they are fired. For now it will reside with some pieces of stone in a seedling flat.

Re: The Shoe
Matt have you chosen whether to have it as a formal upright or perhaps a semi cascade runner
