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.

Turn it into ice! Make it a winter diorama!

Oh nice idea. Being creative when a project goes off the rails is a powerful thing.

The ice thing popped into my mind as well!

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.

Eh better than glitter

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

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

Looks cool, you shouldn't be too harsh on yourself

[-] squeakycat@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

I like it. It's like islands in the clouds.

Here I'm thinking that one flying level from SM64

[-] Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That is what we are.

I just got the Dredge: the pale reach add on and this beauty fits right in. I like it, it looks chilly and grim.

It seems to be a commentary on capitalism.

More seriously: you see a failed diorama, I see a work that I can't / don't know how to achieve by myself. I see something I like.

(Also, hexagons need more recognition)
