Default Large mounting project

Hello everyone!
I thought I would share my current project. I do the mounting for our local museum greenhouse orchid collection and have always wanted to plant up a full log of mounted orchids and other epiphytes. What has held me back is not having the ability to house such a thing and get the light, humidity, etc that it would need to do it's best.
Well, recently I checked with a local pet store and the manager ordered me a large, hollow cork log. I am just going to stand it up in a clay pot for balance right now, but eventually I would like to see it hung. I am donating it to the museum greenhouse as part of their species collection.
I started working on it tonight, after staring at it for the last month, figuring out what, where and how. I was able to get a Liparis grossa mounted tonight, and have purchased a rather nice assortment of other miniature to small orc's to attach, such as Ceratostylis rubra, Brassavola cucullata, Angraecum didieri, Schoenorchis fragrans, Dendrobium loddigesii, Sophronitis coccinea, Dendrobium unicum, along with Ressurection fern, Pleopeltis polypodioides, and some Tillandsia varieties. I was thinking of placing a large bromeliad in the top, perhaps just in a pot, but I might actually do an inside mount, not really sure how I want to "top" it off exactly. Feel free to give suggestions, input, criticism (please be constructive). I will be posting new photos as it progresses. Hope you enjoy!
