Description
Edit: Since I've been getting a lot of the same questions, I thought I'd answer them here.
* The fish are not real. They were handmade from polymer clay.
* The water is not real water - it's resin.
* I do not have any of these for sale at the moment, and there is currently a waiting list for any that do come back from the convention. I am trying to figure out a way to make more of these so I can list them on Etsy though!
* My commissions are closed at the moment until May 30 or June 1. I am a bit backed up on people wanting ponds so there may be a wait for them.
Thank you guys for all the watches, comments, and favorites! I wish I could reply back to everyone but dA would flag me for spamming if I did.Β
The first ponds are finally finished and the resin has cured! I am so excited. They came out so great.
This is my husband's tin pond for his desk at work. He requested a tiny frog for his.

Very cool work. I like all of yours that I've seen.
What brand of resin do you use? I do not see any bubbles at all, and even with a vacuum degasser I'm still getting tiny bubbles. So I'm curious.

You should do a walkthrough on one of these! I showed them to my mom and it may be a summer thing if we can find a tutorial.

I will open up commissions for them once I finish my show. I'll post something up when I do. I am auctioning one off on eBay on Monday if you wanted to get one sooner than that.
