I don't mind you asking at all! Just trying to think of a good way to describe it...
Small objects that I find interesting, I guess. Polished stones, minerals, a few unique coins, one glass chess piece, a pocket watch or two, the exoskeleton of a sea dragon... That sort of thing. There's more but I forget, which is the exact reason why a display would be good.
Something like this:
That’s pretty neat! I feel that would be a great way to showcase something fascinating.
Perhaps put the sea dragon skeleton in there first with sand, then gems to compliment the area.
Could have the watch hanging from above like a pendulum, and the chess piece could have googly eyes just for shock factor lol
Of course these are just my opinions, but feel free to express yourself how u wish!
Hahaha oh wow, the image of a googly-eyed chess piece made me chuckle.
Of course, thank you. I appreciate you sharing your opinions!
As for the seadragon... what I really want to do there is encase it in resin so it's safe first. It's awesome on an aesthetic and biological level because they're unreal creatures, but it also has great personal value as I found it beachcombing with my late Grandmother as a child...
It's quite fragile, though
Actually, this reminds me that I've been SCUBA diving more recently and was privileged to encounter a live Leafy Sea Dragon in Rapid Bay (South Australia). 2017-2018. Have footage of that dive somewhere...
I should really track it down, edit it, cast the exoskeleton in resin, write a post about the process and include the footage!
Never done any resin casting before so first step is research...
Nice talking to you! :]
