I was thinking on Midsummer lately, its a magical time. Flowers bloom, dragonflies dance and fairies come to visit your gardens. You have started your fairy gardens haven't you??
While I know a few of you fine gals are about to enter your winter seasons, I thought we could stroll down the summer path for a while with a little story *wink*

I see us sitting in a wonderful nook filled with speckled light. Nearby is the tinkling sound of a water fountain:
Can you hear the chirping of the little birds as they dance in the birdbath?
It would be so nice to sit here in this garden...er.....
CRAP I forgot the bench!!!
Ok lets pick this up next post...where are they gonna sit Jane?? Geesh..terrible at this. *wink*

ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful imagination. Your fountain is the most spekutalære fountain I have ever seen. I can clearly see a common thread to some of your previous work. Very exciting Jane. I look forward to seeing more of this theme.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that fountain!!! It's amazing! You did a great job with the squirting water :D Can't wait for the next post. Hmm.... I'm thinking a fairy garden roombox.... With this little fountain and birdbath, some green grass and bushes (ooh, magnolias!!)..... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOh, and perhaps you can make a little Confucius snail to go with it :D I seriously love that snail ;)
DeleteWell he's pretty slow, but he will make his way to Slovenia soon ;)
DeleteWoowwwwooowww... That fountain with the water is awesome! I assume you made both the fountain and the birdbath. :) Fantastic job!

Hello Lady Jane! I doff my hat to you! You have made a most wonderful and magical fountain and birdbath! Your sculpting skills continue to impress and astound me! I was smitten with your culinary goodie and then your green gardening thumbs followed by your fabulous fairies and now with your sculpted garden accessories! You my dear are a true " Renaissance Woman!"

Sorry to arrive so late at the party... gorgeous fountain!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Gee
Jane,
ReplyDeleteYour fountain water looks so clear and realistic. I tried making a fountain and the water looks like mucus. (trying to be nice lol) Please share what you used and maybe a little about your technique.
Thanks!
Greetings grandmommy!
DeleteI used 2 part resin for this set, there are lots of options though.
For the spout water I slow dripped a strand of hot glue into a cold glass of water so that it formed a base to drip pour the resin onto.
Of course resin would be the best bet.. but its tricky and expensive.
A good alternative would be to do a few coats to a piece of clear firm plastic with triple thick gloss glaze, this is a cheap alternative to using poured fillers.
I have not straight filled anything large with triple thick yet.. but it might be worth a shot to see if it fills in a shallow space ;P
Best of luck to you, let me know how it turns out!
