Thank you! They're not for sale online yet as they're coming with me to a miniature show this weekend. Once the show is over I'll put any I have leftover in my Etsy shop.

Those little buckets and metal bucket things turned out better than I had imagined, they're awesome xD

Thanks! I really like how the metal tubs turned out. I think I'll have to make one for myself.

Put a lil' shark in it!

If I could figure out how to make sharks, that would be really neat. Or turtles. My husband wants a pond with a frog as well. I just need to learn to sculpt animals. >.<

Would be an awesome way to expand your ability ^^ you have food down pretty well (I know you have little things you want to improve on) but to the public I bet people would love to see animals/fish/etc

I think fish would probably be where I stop.

I should just commission you to make me a miniature drumset. Be a good challenge and would be AWESOME!

These are going to a miniature show in Orlando this weekend first. Anything that's leftover will be going into my Etsy shop.

If I could ask a few more questions :]
If there are any left over, how much would they be?Β
Could I request one/put it on hold or at least be told when they're on sale so I can purchase one?
These really remind me of Riusuke Fukahori's work, which I absolutely adore and would love to own one but their size and price obviously make it a little impossible. Also, I absolutely positively and passionately adore and love miniature things, so this is so wonderfully perfect and tickles my fancy so much that I just⦠want. So bad. >___<
Sorry for being vociferous, but these really really really are so amazing >_______< I may try my hand at it myself to make one if I cannot buy one.Β

The barrels are $22, the metal tubs are $35. The smallest pond is $40, the next size up is $50, and the larges with the three fish is $75. I can't put any aside since these are part of my stock for the show. I will post a journal up once I get set to open my shop again.

Thank you. :] I wouldn't want to request/put aside a specific one, but just one in general. I wouldn't be picky in being able to have one of those amazing pieces! But I'll definitely keep an eye out for your journal update.

Oh wow! These are incredible. They look so real I really did expect them to start moving around

Incredible work! It's amazing how much detail you can put into something so small.

Just an advice as a chemist; try working in a vented room if you can when using products that smell/have to be heated
π: 0 β©: 1
I keep the window in my room cracked and wear a mask when I do work with resin/strong glue. I guess the smell lingers because I had about 25 pieces out and drying at once. I'd love to let them cure outside but I live on a first floor apartment with a lot of foot traffic by my porch. I'd be worried someone would take one (which could happen, as there are a lot of kids that go by after school lets out).
π: 0 β©: 1
I see. Indeed it would not be good to leave them outside. But at least you wear a mask and open your window, that is reassuring.
I really like your work, but I would not want anyone to get sick because of the products used :c

The mask is pretty much a must have. Resin fumes trigger migraines for me, which is something I learned the hard way last time I made ponds. Think I'll have to invest in a better mask, though, since I can still get a decent whiff of the resin from time to time.

D: try getting the list of components in the resin you use, check for infos on them to see if there's anything very dangerous and what are the security advices on it.
What kind of resin do you use exactly?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think it's anything too dangerous since it's the resin they sell at Michaels. I think it's called Castin Craft resin.

Alright; I did some research and basically it can generate stuff like esters or alcohol (if that is the good resin I found xD). But just the caution inscription on the picture of the bottle I found is quite making it very clear that there is some bad shit in it.
You'd need to work with your window wide open, possibly with some wind or a device to vent the vapors away from you. A mask is a good thing, but I also suggest gloves and safety googles, unless you already use those

I don't think resin is ever not going to have bad crap in it. lol
I don't have gloves, but the window is open and I have the ceiling fan going at full blast. Since I'm working with larger amounts of resin more frequently now, I'll go invest in some gloves and a better mask I think. It never bothered me before but I was making really tiny batches of resin for 1:12 cups (which take 2-3 drops of resin each to fill).
Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it.
