Description
Hi all!I felt like making another koi pond. This time I used a different technique to make the Kois, especially the fins. They have a gradient effect and are even thinner than before (I ripped so many while making it lol). This pond is also a little bigger, which measures 2.5 x 1.5 x .5. I also filled it to the brim with resin whereas before it didn't reach the top. I also wanted to attempt at making another lotus. It's still not perfect but I think it is better than before =].
I hope you guys like this!
materials: polymer clay, resin, (bought the rocks), glue, acrylic paint (for the lily pads)
time: ~ 4-5 days
P.S. - I have tutorials on this in my gallery and on youtube =]

May I ask what you made the koi out of? The resin right?
I'm not sure what that is, sorry..

The koi is made from Polymer Clay. The resin is the water portion

Hi,
It is a great project! The resin looks very clear, do you mind sharing the brand you used for this project.
Thanks...

Hi there! I'd love to tell you, but I bought mine in Hong Kong and they didn't give me the whole bottle with the label on it. Β I had to put it into smaller containers so it was easier to bring back.

I've never done it with clear glue, but I would think it should work. Β It just won't be as clear and be super careful of bubbles. Β I did tests without anything in the clear glue and I noticed any movements too big would cause many bubbles. Β GOod luck if you want to try it

I spent so long on mine and it didnt come out good at all. The glue i used ruined the whole thing.

I know I should have done the resin! Then some one told me Clear Glue so I did that and it ruined it....
