[@CrankyPantss]

That looks lovely. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@gintonic127]

The range of your skills and hobbies is amazing 👏

[@nm9412]

Thank you for your tips on how to make a diorama! Cool tools you have!

[@dodgersfnshepard8673]

Ugh..to sweet! Especially the mushrooms

[@BPCustomCreations]

Amazing result on this one too, Geordie!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@JasonM69]

I also find shrink wrapping very satisfying. This turned out great, reminds me of Breath of the Wild.

[@cranistraniu]

Such a beautiful piece of art 👏👏👏.

[@datnade2299]

Imperfect tools, great ideas, love it. Also, yes - all miniatures are better with tiny lights!

[@wandafuller-hillier1983]

You have many, many talents!!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you so much! I just love learning new things haha :)!

[@dotesondots]

Truly lovely and so soothing. Your art is amazing, beautiful, and serene. ❤❤❤

[@DingoPaints]

What an excellent build

[@erickristenson7113]

Most excellent. I really love all the different lighting techniques. Would be cool to make a life size mushroom lamps!

[@Miguelangel6784]

The video was great! You’re awesome. Crafty girls rock 🥰🫡

[@isaac879]

The glowing stag and mushroom are stunning! I can't wait to see more of your videos!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thank you! More projects coming!! 😁

[@mosierstudios2525]

Fantastic work. Truly inspiring how you're able to apply so many techniques and bring every element to life. and keep doing the voiceover :)

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the voice-over, maybe I'll do another for the next build! :)

[@XxHANSOLO87xX]

The voice over makes this video 100x better than it already is !! Great job ! Love all the work you do .

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks! I'm glad everyone doesn't seem to hate my voice as much as I do 😅

[@ragozzinehq]

10:02 omg the time elapse on the drying modge podge is so satisfying :)

[@maneeratromtrairat174]

thank you for your tutorials . your work is so amazing . I learn new things .

[@TomJones0065]

WOW This is TOTALLY A work of ART!

[@mattsamaco9804]

Truly amazing. I hopped on youtube to learn how to make a ground for a 1/64 scale diarama and came across your channel. So glad i did now. You have some serious skills

[@TomAtkinson1138]

Seriously so amazing, burning through all your vids. And love how you, as a creator, also credit the people who taught you, I think that's a rare and beautiful gesture

[@zestvisions]

This is so beautiful, so many skills coming together to create such a magical piece, congratulations

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you! I had a lot of fun making it! :)

[@ProjectPlayDioramas]

Came here from Reddit. Good to see fellow diorama builders :)

[@Geordiecrafts]

Awesome! Just checked out your channel, fantastic work!

[@ProjectPlayDioramas]

@@Geordiecrafts thank you! I don't know how you don't have more followers. It's a shame!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you! I'm not in any rush to grow to the channel or anything, I just enjoy making these builds! :) I'm working on another project now!

[@thetitus7691]

You can use one of those craft hand drill. They normally come with a bunch of different little bits that should fit the size you need for the plants. You can use some tacky glue to to install them in the foam

[@noveltypenmanship]

The foil bottom on the rocks is such a great touch, and I'm curious about your moss/silica process. Also shrink wrap is fabulously satisfying 🤘

[@Geordiecrafts]

Drying the moss is pretty simple, I let it air dry for a few days and then I put it in an air tight container with silica beads for a few weeks. I have rechargeable silica. So if it turns dark (which means it's full of water), I'll recharge it during the drying process. That's not always needed though. Overall it's super easy!

[@trikepilot101]

So many skills!

[@Geordiecrafts]

I just love learning! 😁😁

[@slma20018]

So beautiful

[@LiliaArmoury]

great work! the finished result is quite pretty

[@alexwaterville8074]

Truly stunning 😍

[@veravaneijk]

This looks so beautiful!! Are you planning to sell some of your creations online? I think my mom would love this as a gift! And do you have other ways how you make rivers/ waterfalls? I do have uv and epoxy resin, oven and airdry clay, supersculpy, and plaster, among many other things, but I don't have the gloss gel you've used.... I've tried to make one before, using just clay, since I didnt have resin at the time, and that ended up looking like a monster arm on my sculpture 😂😂 Maybe you can make a video with all your favourite products and ways how to make something in the landscape? (I don't know if you've already made one, I saw your post on Reddit and I haven't seen any of your other video's yet. This isn't a thing I demand you to do ofcourse, it's just an idea!) In any case, I love what you do, you're really talented! I can't wait to see what amazing things you'll make next time!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don't sell anything online becuase these pieces take 50 - 100 hours to complete and I work a full time day job. I can make one diorama every 4 to 8 weeks at most so opening an online shop isn't really feasible. Right now I'm focusing on improving my skills and learning to film the process. I've only ever used epoxy resin for my water and this was actually my first time making a waterfall so I have limited experience there haha. I do plan on eventually making tutorials, but I want to gain more experience and confidence in my work first. I'm working on another project now that should be finished in about a week so stay tuned! (it's an older one I started about 8 months ago but it got put by the wayside for a while :p) Thanks again for checking out the video, more to come! :)

[@veravaneijk]

@@Geordiecrafts Ohh, yes, that's understandable ofcourse! You're really talented, and it looks so pretty what you've made, so I thought you were doing this professionnaly, especially since you're using so many different techniques. Since I know now how long this took you, it seems impossible indeed. I also didn't know it was your first time making a waterfall. It looks like you've done it so many times before! I'm looking forward to your turtorials, I think I, and many others can learn a lot from you. I'm also looking forward to your next video, I can't wait to see what the next project is! :)

[@HollowNaut]

You're seriously so talented. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! I'm working on another project now that should be finished in about a week! (if everything goes right lol) so stay tuned for more! :D

[@RM-vw3ov]

That was a wonderfully peaceful scene! Beautifully done!

[@TheSasquatchjones]

Your work is amazing

[@DicePunk]

Not sure if you eventually knew about this, but if you cut fiber optic at an angle the points of light are bigger and brighter, and you can vary the angle to have different brightness. Makes it more organic.

[@paulpardee]

I should not have watched this video... I don't have time for another hobby! Excellent work and very inspiring :)

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha I understand this more than you know 😅, thanks for checking it out!

[@forgingaheadinart]

Great job!!! Very inspirational!! Subscribed and looking forward to your other videos. Also many more to come!!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks for the kind words and the sub! I appreciate it! 😊

[@genekloszewski5484]

You should make a hot wire cutter. Very easy to make.. G string from electric guitar, + 3 "C" cells. I love your videos, you're very talented!

[@vinberube136]

You're criminally under-subbed. My son and I both went "woahhh" when you capped the mushrooms. Such a nice build and so many techniques demonstrated. Loved every second.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Oh my goodness thank you so much for the kind words! I just love learning new things so this is the perfect hobby for me 😄 I'm finishing up my next project soon so stay tuned!

[@maxbrandt6]

I absolutely love this! You are imaginative and skilled and you know woodcraft too! Respect! This really is a beautiful diorama, something I'd like to do as well but using this Sasquatch figure I have. I also learned something about how to make realistic trees, super useful. Those Super Leves are much needed too. Thank you for sharing, this is good stuff!

[@mikemartin3671]

Lovely inspirational work! Please don't ever stop narrating and explaining what you've done. It helps anyone like me feel like we might be able to bring our visions to reality. ( I think this is video #4 for me, still impressed) Good choice of music in every video and exceptional editing too! Take care, best of luck in growing your channel...you've definitely got the talent for it👍 Edit: nice use of audio fx as well.

[@Notmadenough]

Just found your work over on reddit. I was really hoping you had a KZbin channel because your work is outstanding.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Oh gosh thank you so much! I really appreciate you checking out my channel! I have more projects in the works now so stay tuned! :)

[@abbsb1912]

Love love love 🖤 your voice is soothing, youve got such skills and created your own led lights too #swoon

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you ❤❤

Beautiful work, new subscriber from Instagram!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😀

[@dashysarts]

It`s so adorable uwww And also, how people in comments are sayng, so many techniques used in this project! So inspiring!

[@shaebryan1413]

This is f-in dope

[@nengelen]

💪impressive! Skill, style, presentation and result, just awesome. Hope your channel blows up and gets recommended after billmakingstuff, crafsman, cajun crafastrophe, boylei, knarb, stutson etc. It wouldn't be undeserved, quality stuff 👌

[@Geordiecrafts]

It would be surreal even in the same ballpark as those amazing creators! I'm already really happy with how things are going on this journey 😊

[@tinemaertens6663]

just subbed ! love your work !

[@jasonshirrillmusic]

very cool

[@goforitpainting]

Very cool! Did you use Blender?

[@rickbungay9188]

Yes she did.

[@Geordiecrafts]

I did! It's tricky software to get started with but I'm so happy I did!

[@goforitpainting]

@@Geordiecrafts I'm very interested in how to make from 2D to 3D.

[@marcelolsantoro5055]

Congratulations! Really amazing work. May I ask which resin you used to print the dear in the 3D printer?

[@AnjanaRajapaksha-xv4ub]

😍

[@MsJasperr]

me - "are those the ne cha" Stag at 0:31 - "the new Chanel boots? yes"

[@fiorwood2056]

Hi, this is beautiful can I ask you what print are you using and the machine to turn the wood?

[@dmwingon]

i said it over on imgur but i'll say it here too, this is absolutely stunning! i'm so jealous that you have the time and ability (creatively and physically and mentally) to make all of this from scratch. i used to be super creative, but it turned out i've got a genetic condition (ehlers-danlos syndrome) that leaves me tired and in pain and unable to concentrate most of the time. sitting at my work table usually doesn't work for more than a half hour or so, sadly. but honestly, seeing this is inspiring. i just need to find the right project to work on (and that i already have materials for lmao). i'm definitely subscribing, this was a really excellent video!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate that. I remember learning about physical therapy for Ehlers-Danlos in school (I have a kinesiology degree) and I can't imagine what it's like to suffer with it. I'm so sorry you have to go through that :( If you look around and try different methods you might be able to find a way to hobby that works for you! Thanks so much for subscribing! I should be finished my current piece in about a week of everything goes according to plan to stay tuned! :)

[@dadsrcworkbench1322]

Great video and techniques. What did you use for the flocking for the cherry blossom tree?

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks! I used superleaves 😊. You can find a bit more detail on my trees in this video if you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIWzaqmrmdplpa8

[@metalor696]

This is fuck fuck cool! Love the glow coming from underneath the rocks \m/

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha thank you! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out :)

[@lokiwartooth1138]

What rotary tool are you using. This is definitely not the one linked in Amazon. Or should I say dremel style.

[@russellgoins1004]

:3

[@blackhawk3165]

I am new to this, when you make the tree, what is the spray can you use after gluing the dried plants off?

[@Geordiecrafts]

It's AK fix, but any superglue accelerator will work! I just happen to have the AK system. You can see more about this kind of tree in a video I made a while ago 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIWzaqmrmdplpa8si=eFUhkM6xhkeVzTPl

[@blackhawk3165]

Thank you very much for letting me know and yes your tree is beautiful. I really appreciate the fact that you TELL people what they should and shouldn't do, it really helps to understand they why's and wherefores. Thank you.

[@POMAHTUK178]

Супер. Привет из России.

[@IcsulX]

Wooaaa, do you make 3D sculpting tutorials? :O

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha I've considered making blender tutorials, but I'm not great with the software itself. I don't work in a very efficient way so I don't think I'm the best person to give advice 😅

[@IcsulX]

@@Geordiecrafts Well, I find it easier to learn from people that don't use it at it's max potential. Dedicated people that make tutorials often forget to mention simple steps that are essential to the process. It's easier to follow a less efficient way of working as a beginner.

[@Geordiecrafts]

@@IcsulX that's a good point actually. Maybe I'll actually do something with the Geordie Blends channel!

[@SuperCarmen57]

Wonderful work , but difficult and quite expensive to carry out ... for me! Anyway everything that is of quality is expensive and requires time and imagination , congratulations !

[@ElPaviano]

Great Job! Came from Reddit, we should do a collab :D

[@Geordiecrafts]

Just checked out your channel! Amazing work! Hit me up on Instagram @geordiecrafts to chat about a collab!
