- UV Resin Water Effects + simple materials= Miniature Magic...
I'm beguiled by the dream of an ancient garden...in miniature.
I can almost smell the perfume of antique roses, and hear the gentle splashing of fountains.
This project is the first in a series of Miniature Garden Accessories that I'll be attempting to create.
I hope you'll join me for this charming excursion...

AWE..................another piece of MAGIC! XOXO
Hee hee! xoxo
Wow! How darling! Love it girl!
Heather , what Wonderful project. The U.V. resin is fantastic , no mixing and quick cure . Happy Valentines Day to You Beautiful Lady .
Remember how we used to have to wait DAYS for resin to cure? Man, I am SO happy that is no longer necessary, Franco...'cuz I'm IMPATIENT! 😜😘
@@Thicketworks : Me too
Gurly !! U rock !!
Another gorgeous miniature.
Why, thank you - this one was such fun! 😘
Hi! I just discovered your channel and I must say I am fascinated by your skills and how you create these items! I've learned so much already. How incredible!
Just needs some splashes! 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺
That's a great idea, Rosie! xoxo
Yes!! I found your channel.😍 Very nice work. Thanks.
Thank you for finding me, and for the kind words, my friend! xoxo
Awesomeness!!! Sighhhhhh.....😉Tfs hugs Renee

Breathtaking Heather....bravo!
Well, thank you, Rose! I am becoming more and more obsessed with minis, girl! xoxo
Wonderful!
Stunning piece
It’s so tiny and cute ❤️

Beautiful!!!!!
Yay! xoxo
Just awesome!
Yay! Thank you, my friend! xoxo
It is wonderful Heather
What a fantastic idea - will definitely include this brilliant addition in future builds, my friend. xoxo
Heather, had not watched the entire video when I wrote the first comment. I am getting to the point that I cannot say which is my favorite. This one is now going to the top for now, as I know you will be creating more!!! I can see where this piece is going to go, somewhere is the Gothic Funeral Series. I believe you mentioned storing one of your pieces in a *fish tank*!! At the rate I am going I will need a *swimming pool*. LOL
You and me BOTH, girl! We need WAREHOUSES for our creations, Lois! I am seriously pleased that you like this one. Thank you. xoxo
so realistic, beautiful artwork! 👏
Oh, how kind you are! Thank you! xoxo
WOW!!! oops, sorry, Yes, I did backslide for a second.... I mean, I'm trying to expand my descriptive vocabulary but, sometimes I regress.... The magic you create with such simple supplies is beyond Amazing, and seems to leave me stuttering and stammering and searching for words to express the feelings your artwork evokes... I want to walk through your garden and smell the sweet aroma of the roses as they spill over the wall and sit for a little while and listen to the sounds of the water as it spills from the fountain and splashes in the pool of water at it's base, and let it's sweet music soothe the soul in the way the sound of running water does..... I close my eyes and let the peace of this place fill my being.... xoxoxo
The sweet scent of roses...the soft splashing of soothing waters...ahhh...YES. Peace, my darling. xoxo
Magnifique 😍
Merci, Sylvie! xoxo
Amazing. Thank you x
I'm in love with the new, cheaper UV resins - they are SO darn useful and easy to use, @Chimp Alien Baby! xoxo
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Exquisitry and creativity at its finest! I am particularly impressed with the use of materials/supplies that are not ready-made, store bought items (clear floor wax with acrylic paint?! Who knew?!). I seriously thank you for your generosity in the provision of this tutorial. It astounds me that it’s just free and up for grabs on you tube!
Well, this certainly made my day! Thank you, Jeanne - your generosity of Spirit is a joy to witness. I seriously thank YOU for your kindness, my friend. xoxo
pure awesomeness
Yay! So glad you like it, Effie! 💗
Love love love this. Amazing!
Well, thank you, Victoria! Hugs! xoxo
Always exciting to see what you've created! 💕

very inspiring! I need to get into resin; it looks so easy. Thank you so much for all the hints - dried cilantro for moss! I can definitely use this in my miniature work.
UV Resin is SO easy to work with, M D - give it a try: I think you'll be pleased, my friend. xoxo
Tus trabajos son simplemente MARAVILLOSOS!!!!!!
Muchas Gracias, darling! xoxo
I am thrilled to see another miniature. I loved your series with the horse drawn funeral coach. I bought 1-2-3 blocks after watching you and I find them extremely useful. Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi Susan - firstly, thank you for enjoying the miniatures: I love them with an unnatural passion, girl! 😅
And, YAY! for 1-2-3 blocks...I don't know how I lived without 'em! Thank YOU for being here. xoxo
Incrível! Maravilhoso 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘 🇧🇷
Oh, thank you, @Angélica Luvizotto! So glad you like it, my friend! xoxo
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am so glad to have found your channel Heather! I love your tutorials. They inspire me to try things that I would never have even attempted! Your channel is everything I have been looking for. The perfect inspiration for my miniatures. I am looking forward to more. :D
WHOA! How amazing is this message???? Thank you for being extraordinarily kind, @Celt Mistineire! Bless you, my friend. xoxo
your work continues to amaze me.
i would love to see your work done in real furniture like you did once.
thank you for sharing your ideas and knowledge...
Oh, how very kind, Lenitu...I think my 'FULL SIZED FURNITURE' days may be over, darling. Thank you for watching, even though it's just 'mini'! xoxo
I just mentioned you ina live cuz the topic was miniatures, so i see now that ive missed several videos. Your projects are amazing!
Love it!
Well, thank you, Sandra! I appreciate the generosity, girl. xoxo
incredible effects...i love it
Awesome! So simple, so effective, my friend. Thank you! xoxo
@@Thicketworks 😘
I am in love with this project. Must make one for myself. Aside from being a beautiful art object, it can also feature in my D&D game!
That sounds AWESOME, my friend! I totally respect tabletop gaming crafts! xoxo
This is gorgeous! I have an ornate lion's head I molded that would be perfect to use in making a fountain like this. Thank you for your inspiration!
Oh, that sounds perfect, @therettavad! I adore ornate Lion's Heads...your projects will be amazing! xoxo
Heather your videos are absolutely amazing. I love what you are doing. I just found this by accident. So glad I did. Thank you for sharing so much with us. I enjoyed watching. I am binge watching today :D
Hi Valerie! It's lovely to see you here, my friend. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm thrilled that the videos are of use to you, darlin'.xoxo
OMG. This is just fabulous. You are a fantastic artist with the faux finish . The water in the basin is so realistic. Thank you so much for teaching us so many ways to create some wonderful piece of art. xoxo
Thank YOU, Chantal - your sweet support is pure GOLD! xoxo
HEATHER!!!!! again YOU are AMAZING! I LOVE This!!!!! xo M
I am SO glad you like it, Michele - thank you, girl! xoxo
Heather, this is simply beautiful! Your attention to detail and realism AND how to achieve the realism, is magical. We ALL appreciate all that you share with us so much! I think I might see a "garden series" in the making???? Now off to find that nifty lil flashlight! Thank you Heather xoxo
Ha ha! Yes! I think a garden series is HAPPENING, girl! Bless you for your incredible friendship, Robbin. My heart is full. xoxo
I just watched this video and I’m thrilled! Beautiful art,makes me think that I can do it thank you 😊 I did subscribe
Thank you for subscribing, Bella! And you CAN do it, my friend. Yep. xoxo
OMG! What a fantastic job. You are such a wonderful artist. I love your creations and the perfectionism with which you design everything. It always gives me great pleasure to watch your videos and watch you at work. Your works are simply unbeatable. Thank you for the wonderful tips. ❤👍 LG vom Tinchen
Oh, you are so very kind, Tinchen! What a generous and warm hearted message: Thank You!

oh be still my grungy Gothic heart! ❤️❤️❤️
Hee hee! Ancient, crumbling stonework, covered in lichen and moss...ahhhhh....💗
Woow!
Hello, Julija! xoxo
Your talent and art pieces amaze me each amd every time! I can't express enough how much I admire your gift! You make every thing look so realistic and simple to make! One day I will muster the courage to attempt one of your pieces.. 💜💜💜
Oh, you already have ALL of the courage and creativity you need to create amazing work, my friend...I BELIEVE in you.
💗
Hi Heather, you are absolutely amazing and I hope you do not mind but I've shared your channel with a group of us "darklings" who enjoy this sort of thing. You are so generous with your talent. Thank you for these amazing ideas and your lovely templates you are my new favorite youtuber and I hope your channel absolutely blows up with followers! All the best, Melanie from Florida!
Hi Melanie - and thank you so much for helping to spread the word: that means the world to me! And Darklings are always welcome in my world 💗⚜💗
Lovely!!! This design should be sold as an actual table fountain.
Your miniatures are so stunning, they'd look great displayed around a large Victorian dollhouse. Have you ever considered creating an entire mansion to scale? I'd imagine it would be a hell of a lot of work and time involved in such a project, though.
Hey Fran! Awww....thank you for your kindness, my friend. Oh, I dream of scratch building an enormous, (1/12 scale) elaborate manor house some day...but, until then, I'll be content with working on dioramas...they satisfy the same yearning for 'imaginal worlds'...xoxo
Outstanding work, Heather, thanks for sharing. My introduction to the world of miniatures was a polymer clay Mediterranean garden scene tutorial by Akameru Kawaii. While it was not quite my style, it was the catalyst that made me really see miniatures & think about how I would tackle the theme myself & started me looking for other miniaturists to learn from. Your piece is exactly the style I would use in my old, overgrown, hidden 'Secret Patio Garden' scene with broken tiles/pavers, it's surrounded by a tall wall where the render is cracked & coming away from the exposed bricks. It would be full of cracked overgrown pots, toppled urns & beautiful antiquities like an Astronomers sundial & weathered classical statues. It gives me that 'smiley on the inside' feeling, just thinking about it. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Oh, Joanne...this vision of your garden has me SWOONING! It is precisely and perfectly the type of place I dream of...xoxo
I figure that for D&D terrain, all I need to do is reduce the size when I print. This will look amazing in my temple courtyard! Thanks!
Sounds awesome, @DM_ Momma - game ON, girl. xoxo
#QueenOfCrafts does it again! 💖
Ha! You crack me up, girl! Huge hugs. xoxo
@@Thicketworks haha! Thank you! And a big ol' tight hug back to you! 😊 💖X💖X
QUEEN OF SOUL AND MIXED MEDIA!!
@@KellyDannemann ooh good one!
Oh Heather I just loved your fountain. It’s beautiful. I was just wondering where you bought your rubber mould from (the long one which you put along the bottom and sides). Also loved your technique for the running water…brilliant. Cheers Robyn ❤😊
Oops sorry just noticed you put a link for the border. Again thank you for the free pattern. Cheers Robyn ❤😊
@@user-lg5vp5cr9q Hey, Robyn! Glad you liked this one - it's so fun to make!😘
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😍😘
💗😍💗
The pieces you create are always so beautiful. I wish I could have them in life size! Do you create dioramas with all of them? Or do you just create the individual pieces without a specific scene or scale in mind?
My intention is always to create a full diorama, Ramo - but I usually get so carried away making TOO many things to stuff into one little scene! I'm gonna have to be more disciplined...😅 But THIS new series? Yep, I'm gonna do my best to create a full, finished dio....BTW - thank you for being so kind! xoxo
Can i get a link for the waves
Get. Out! OMG, this is amazing!! (also, good tips for the airdry clay, thanks! :) )
I never saw these things you're using as weight, they seem very practicall for minimal storage space, what do you call them and are they originally for?
Hee hee! You make me giggle, Meanne77! Those are 1-2-3 blocks, and engineers use 'em. They are SO useful - and milled to be very accurate...they're called that because the dimensions are 1" x 2" x 3" - so they have a zillion uses, measuring is just one of 'em. xoxo
Heather, how is it, that you always know what I need, when I need it? This will work fabulously with my miniature garden. Did you mention the dimensions of the finished piece?
Oh, your miniature garden sounds enchanting, Anastasia! As to the dimensions: I apologize for NOT mentioning them - but here ya go: 6" high by 4" wide, and about 1 3/4 inch from front to back, darlin'! xoxo
Hi i adore your work but i have a question.. Will the moss not lose its color overtime? Just curious. Thanks
Hey, Victoria! Thanks for the kindness, girl. And YEP - it DID fade. I realized this a couple of months after completion and began dry brushing my herbal textures with green craft paint. Live and learn, darlin' - xoxo
i'm planning to do a church diorama， this will fit in nicely
do you have any more suggestions?：）
Have you seen the videos in this series, @玩具冰室? There's an Altar, an Alter Screen, and a whole bunch of other items that might be of use to your project: ua-cam.com/play/PLpNpQZA9BvJLz8yx_Gw9HU_jMcgcsmUuS.html
Good luck with your dio - it sounds awesome! xoxo
