>> Oh! A spice jar! I've never seen a terrarium done on that small a scale.<<
The smallest I've seen is a fingertip-sized pendant, which is smaller than I'd want to go. But at hand size, you can fit in a few interesting things and there lots of options such as spice jars and empty perfume bottles.

You should totally give it a try. It's fun, doesn't cost anything, and not very hard to get right.
I agree, late winter to early spring is the best time to go moss-hunting. Lichens also show off in cool damp weather.

Yay! I hope you have fun with it.

I actually learned much of my teaching style from Bob Ross. This is not hard. It doesn't have to be expensive. You don't need to use fancy tools if you don't want to. You can make something fun in an hour. This is your world, so you can do anything that you want to do.
