Loose ends

Last month - in the midst of all the craziness - I decided to make a 1:9 scale wading pool. 

Based loosely off this tutorial, I used a cut down Tupperware type container, Breyer box plastic and clear resin...

to create a water tight pool.

The outside was covered with tissue paper and ModPodge. 

There are a few things I'd do differently if I was to do this again, but I think it turned out pretty well, and the capybaras seem to agree.

Ditto, the ponies.

Truth be told, I was really hoping to get this finished in time to take pictures for the Hot Summer: Anything Goes class at the August Happy Horsing Around photo show.

That didn't happen, but here's a little taste of what I was hoping to accomplish. Maybe next time!

Speaking of which, there are just a few days left to enter this month's show. I need to get cracking!
