Failed diorama (lemmy.world)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world to c/imadethis@lemm.ee

They can’t all be winners, so I thought I’d show off the failed island diorama I was working on.

I tried putting some blue ink into into pour resin to tint it and due to bad technique ended up with a lot of cloudy swirling. Might look good otherwise but not the look I was going for. There were also some resin curing issues between layers.

This diorama is trashed but I thought I could show it to the world.

I wouldn't say it's a failure just a work in progress. It's more than I could do, I'd end up with resin all over my carpet and pipe cleaners glued to inconvenient body parts. You do have talent and you have a vision and that's really the beginning of what looks like a cool scene.

One shouldn't treat their twig and goggle berries as a DIY Christmas ornament

Oh I wish I'd known that sooner. Now my goggle berries have pine needles all over them.

Hmm. I'll have to try that next once I buy the gorilla glue to hold it all on.
