Miniature Koi Pond

Description

Miniature koi pond. Made from polymer clay and resin.

After seeing Mel’s tutorial a couple of years ago, I finally decided it’s time to make a koi pond of my own!

I changed a few things around and added some plants and different textures to the bottom of the pond. I don’t quite care for the rocks but it’s all I could find on such short timing (I want to take at least a couple of these with me to Orlando).

The pond almost didn’t make it. I poured too much resin for the final layer and it flowed out and over the sides. I left it overnight and came back to it firmly stuck to my tile. I managed to pry it loose and have learned for my second attempt to make the wall around the pond even. :P

If I can find a way to do it, I'll be trying miniature fish tanks next!

I love this although I prefer the koi pond in the Altoids tin so I could carry it
with me and show it to people. Please make more available on eBay. Thank you.
