Possibly <"Climacium dendroides">? There are a few mosses that are quite tree like, including <"Thamnobryum alopecurum"> and <"Thuidium tamariscinum">, which is really common in NW Europe.

The moss you have looks like a <"Leucobryum sp.">

Many thanks Darrel :) lets see how the moss does long term. I will have a look at the other names see if I can get hold of some.

It looks fabulous, but a tiny part of me is disappointed that we don't get to see the Gherkin sculpture any more!

Many thanks, I did think about leaving some gaps! but then had so much moss that I just filled it all up! can always do a V2.0!! Still have the same amount of moss left to use!!!

Yeah was thinking about it, just what sort of material that touches the glass to use.

thanks, did have a look on eBay and saw a couple of options also, on the inside would it be another magnet or just some metal?
 
I have a couple of those magnets 10mm diametre and I gave it a try on 6mm glass. Definitively 2 magnets work a treat.
Tried it with 1 magnet and a ferreous coin, it did stick but with moving it around the coin stayed behind. :) And this tested without any padding. No idea about bigger/stronger magnets. But I guess you want small ones since it's for a small round vase.

Also, magnets are polarized thus always the same sides are attracted. Then you only need one soft pad on the correct side. If you use a piece of iron it can flip over and then both sides should better be covered with padding if it's used inside the vase.
 
Now if only I could get hold of these two 3D models! lol











Who has great CAD skills? :lol::lol:
 
How about this one? partially covered with moss patches...

leaning tower of pisa

One of the world most famous landmarks People from all over the world visit it and take pictures holding or pushing it, as it has a 4-degree tilt! It started leaning since its construction in 1173 and it took almost 200 years to reach completion at 56m tall! Ever since, there have been efforts...

I was also looking for printing structures with a degree of porosity... Then the moss yoghurt method could be applied.
It seems to be coming up...

need to brush up on my CAD skills, know a little about using Sketchup but not enough!
 
When it comes to CAD i'm100% at a loss... That's why I'm ending up only finding boring stuff...
 
Definitely some funky designs, be great if you could get them to work with living moss. Not sure about the whole preserved moss thing, it's a bit like replacing your lawn with astroturf :p

Indeed, it's a terrarium for the lazy person! lol ideal for company lounges I guess, hence they charge and arm and a leg for them!

Not sure if you are joking @Courtneybst or that is a real name, but I'd love to be a fly on @LondonDragon's wall if he has to call anywhere saying he's trying to get his hands on some "California Gurlz" 🤣

😂 That made me choke haha!

To be honest these days that could easily be a real plant name but no I was just messing around, it reminds me of palm trees you see in LA that's why. 😂

Can you imagine; "Hi there, do you have any live California Gurlz in stock?" Ummmm....
