Finished these little clown fish and anemone pond ornaments last night. :) So to whoever guessed ornaments when I posted these, you got it right! These saltwater pond ornaments have a faux abalone finish on the outside. I'll have some available on Etsy soon and some more available at Holiday Matsuri in December! I can also create custom ornaments! Custom orders are closing at the end of this week for International customers. https://bonappeteats.etsy.com #clownfish #anemones #ocean #handmade #polymerclay #miniatures #miniaturepond #ornament #christmas #christmasornaments #wip #etsy #holidaymatsuri

As well as making a giant mess, I'm working on commissions, too. :) This is for an ocean themed pond. Went back and redid my coral, and I'm much happier with it!

My largest pond piece so far is finally finished!

This was a commissioned piece for a coral reef themed pond. I had free reign over the placement and fish, as long as I made it colorful. Well, I certainly think it came out really colorful. :)

This pond contains: an eel, a stingray, regal tangs, yellow tangs, clownfish, starfish, dottybacks, anemones, corals, and (real!) tiny seashells.

All pieces (minus the rocks on the outside, the sand bottom, and the seashells) were handmade with polymer clay. The water is resin which was applied in a total of 9 layers.

The pond itself is roughly 5.5″ in length. It took around 23 hours to complete.

This was a very fun commission, and I think it’s my favorite one to date. I love playing with colors. :D

First layer of resin is in. Now to just wait for it to dry. #handmade #polymerclay #miniatures #miniaturepond #ocean #coral #reef #coralreef #fish #stingray #ray #clownfish #yellowtang #regaltang #dottyback #anemones #starfish #resin #commissions #wip

Here are some close up shots of the commissioned ocean pond. Thought it would be easier to see the details before the resin goes in. :) #handmade #polymerclay #miniatures #miniaturepond #ocean #coral #reef #anemones #clownfish #fish #eel #yellowtang #regaltang #dottyback #stingray #ray #starfish #seashells #commissions #wip

All the pieces are now assembled in the commissioned ocean pond. :) I will make sure to post more detailed shots in a little while. #handmade #polymerclay #miniatures #miniaturepond #ocean #coral #reef #coralreef #fish #stingray #ray #clownfish #yellowtang #regaltang #dottyback #eel #starfish #commissions #wip
