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 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.
Looks cool, you shouldn’t be too harsh on yourself
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.
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)

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!
