I finished the Faux Water (Epoxy Resin)

Here are some updated pictures on my art doll assemblage

I created the water pond environment using two part epoxy resin. It turned out great. I poured two layers. Letting the first one dry. That allowed me to have two layers of embedded objects and leaves as well as faux diamonds. After all Merman is guarding a treasure of gold and lapis lazuli as well as diamonds. There is a Small box embedded sitting in the water. You can take off the lid and it is perfect to hide a diamond engagement Ring for example.

The next step is creating the waters edge, to make it all look very natural. After that I double check everything and is should be finished.

If you click on the images you can see large close ups.

Memories of Provence

I'd be leisurely walking back to my gite, taking my time, sitting under trees and chewing on small blades of grass while looking up in to the sky. After a while I put my watercolor pad under my arm, smiling from ear to ear, hurrying just a bit, to get home just before dark. A light gust of wind separates me from my straw hat, and blows it just across the row of lavender behind me. I Leave it without worry, knowing it will still be there tomorrow, I'll fetch it then when I come back. Back in my gite, I'd eat something simple, break little pieces off freshly baked baguette, I love that crunchy noise it makes, remembering my grandmother, who like me, loved plain bread and a glass of wine. Later I'd fall in to bed, thinking about how lucky I am, to be in this heavenly place. ~~~~~ The next day I do it all over, walking on air, free in the countryside among the wild lavender and olive trees.
