San Francisco-based artist Juliette Melton creates entire landscapes inside light bulbs that she calls “Tiny Terras.” Whether it’s a jungle, forest or even an Arctic environment you’re after, Melton can make it happen inside an old light bulb.

Light bulb polar bear:

This little polar bear walks across the arctic ice. Made from polyester resin, moss, tillandsia, rocks, and "E-Z Water" covering said rocks. (E-Z Water is intended to be used for miniature train terrains. I like it because it's less toxic than resin.)

Terrarium in repose:

Made on commission for a nice lady in NYC.
