Make a polymer clay and resin mermaid diorama?.. Okay! : )

[@moozie2z]

I watched this with my son. He loves your channel. He's 5 and loves trying to make small dioramas. He messed up on something today and I reminded him how you took your mistakes in this one and turned around and that kept him going!

[@missminilife]

This literally made me tear up!!! I’m so happy I could help motivate someone to keep going!!! Tell him hello from MissMiniLife and keep up the good work!

[@jaredrichardson78]

This is sooooo cool!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Lamefoureyes]

Your attention to detail and ability to make things from super sculpy are really amazing

[@missminilife]

Oh my goodness thank you so much 😂😭 I’ve been trying to get better at using it for like the past 10 videos 😁

[@jaredrichardson78]

And to think, she hated using that clay just a few months ago!!!

[@stigyanblue1442]

Another beautiful sculpt! I'd love to see more creatures from you, maybe a Sphinx at some point? Would make a dope bookend.

[@missminilife]

Thank you! True it would! 😁

It's great to see you Miss Mini!!! You're so talented!

👋🏾Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@willdunn8846]

As a Warhammer terrain crafter, it's always refreshing to see work way left field from what I do. Keep up the good work mate.

[@missminilife]

I feel the same way! I love seeing how I can use war gaming and table top craft ideas in whatever I’m making. I just like anything creative actually. 😁😁😁😁

[@davidpotter8297]

The figure sculpting and coloring is really excellent. Also, great job on the big bubble camouflage, but I think the little internal bubbles add to the whole look, usually a flaw, but in this case a happy accident.

[@missminilife]

🥰🥰 Thank you! I’ve been trying to get better at sculpting so I’m really happy, the bubbles def have grown on me, at first I thought it was the end of the world 😂

[@jaredrichardson78]

I agree!!!

[@kat3910]

Its gorgeous!! I think the bubbles work really well in this scene - they look like something is bubbling up from below the mermaid, and they add a cool textural element. So it was an accident, but a HAPPY accident!!

[@missminilife]

Thank you! Yeah they’ve definitely grown on me since I’ve been seeing the comments! 🥰🥰🥰

[@mijaelproxi2569]

Production quality and editing are tops, to say nothing of the impressive skill repertoire on display! The colors are particularly vivid considering the pigment content of liquitex

[@missminilife]

thanks so much glad you liked it! I appreciate it soo much that you said that, my editing skills are getting better, I'm soo happy!

[@liruichen]

@@missminilife it's so much to do just to film all this, not to mention doing all of it, then making all edits and compositional choices, it shows that you've got chops and put in the work for sure! Keep it up~!

[@staceydeller2881]

The bubbles look like the water is alive, as the mermaid's movement would cause bubbles, as will many plants when disturbed. I think this is quite beautiful and I am glad you didn't give up

[@missminilife]

Thank you! I didn’t think about that at the time 😂

[@leifnewstrand9880]

Your videos are such an inspiration. I love your work! Keep it up!

Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 I will keep trying

[@jasonsavage2865]

Lovely work as always!

[@PyxisCos]

Love the tail and fin🥰 and the bubbles actually look great 💙

[@missminilife]

May be I was too hard on the bubbles 😁

[@claowue]

This looks great and the small bubbles make the water even more like water. The idea to cover up things which went wrong was great. It even looks more interesting with it than without, so it was kind of a happy resin accident?! 😉

[@missminilife]

Definitely😁 I’m glad I didn’t let the stuff I thought ruined it keep me from finishing the project because it turned out to be accidentally a bonus

[@Kongocko]

Great vid! 😁👍

[@missminilife]

❤️ thank you

Stay strong, fall is coming soon and we’ll get a break from the heat… hopefully. I love the texture roller, that is such a great idea!!

Right on, Miss M!! Thanx for not quitting :) lol 'little dragon' ahaha - & I love the bubbles! - very dynamic, accidental or not!

😂😂😂😂 wait!! Okay then I totally did them on purpose. Lol

[@ghoulgoil5029]

I love it! It turned out so great. I love the scales details, tail, her hair and her face! The trinkets was such a great idea. You are a gifted artist. I enjoy your work. I bet it’s even hotter with filming lights! I’m in NC, the humidity is awful. You weren’t even sweating! Thank you for posting!

[@missminilife]

No literally thank you for watching!! 😂 hopefully you get some humidity relief overthere! The one think about the heat here is at least it’s more like an oven than a sauna lol

[@ghoulgoil5029]

@@missminilife you’re welcome! So true, I use to live in Alameda, I remember It’s a different miserable ha!

[@craiggordon2502]

Try sealing the foam with modpodge that will seal the foam. Paint isn’t enough to stop the resin from reacting with the foam. Air is probable coming from the foam that caused the bubbles. Hope that helps

[@missminilife]

Yes! Thank you 😁 never would have thought about that

[@Lamefoureyes]

Jeremy from Black Magic Craft has a lot of experiment screwing up resin pours so his videos are a great resource haha

She's beautiful. I really love her shrinky dink tail. I'm also imagining how she found a carousel horse in the ocean. I like her hoard.

[@musicmaniac32]

Oh. my damn! This is amazing! I don't know what you were talking about the bubbles being a mistake. I'd imagine there would be bubbles in shallow water if your mermaid had just swum into the cave. That came out exactly like it was supposed to. Love it! Your sculpting is wonderful! Have you ever thought about doing the ocean scene from The Last Unicorn?

[@missminilife]

I haven't seen the movie but I just checked and it look like its on a couple streaming sites so I'll check it out!

@@missminilife Whoa, I'm glad I didn't spoil the movie then. I hope you like it!

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I started out using Dr Crafty resin, and it's great, until a year later when it turns yellow. 😭 I recommend Total Boat resin. The reason why you got those huge bubbles is because of how much resin you poured in a single pour. Next time, pour it in layers. It'll make it less likely to overheat! Either way, I think it turned out absolutely fantastic!! Your sculpting is so good. I'm very jealous of your skills. 💙

[@missminilife]

Oooh 😯 I’m gonna try that resin! I didn’t know it could turn yellow later. I did pour it in layers but on the bottom layer I didn’t flame thrower the bubbles but in the top I did so there’s a line between them 😭. Thank you so much for the info and the recommendations though cause that helps a ton! 🥰🥰

[@CrankyPantss]

Very nice job. Thats looks very cool. I know what you mean about the heat. It’s been incredible here in texas this summer, too.

Ohhh 😮! But y’all have been having crazy weather in some places!! At least from what I saw on tiktok. I def think I could be worse there in some places at least. Also thank you and welcome back 🥰

You clearly did very well in sculpture class. Making human characters seems to be a weak area for many miniatures. but not you. Excellent work, as always.

That hand/arm technique is horrifying, yet quite effective. Lol. I’ll have to try it.

[@stigyanblue1442]

Have you seen the webcomic called "The Little Trashmaid?" Its kind of a modern take on 'The Little Mermaid,' a cute little mermaid living in a modern ocean, playing with and collecting human trash and being affected by the pollution. Its cute, but also sobering because our oceans really are in a bad way.

[@missminilife]

I’ll look it up tonight I haven’t heard of it. Yeah the worlds really seeing the effects of not caring where our thrash goes for so long.

[@stigyanblue1442]

@@missminilife even more sobering is the realization that private citizens like you and me are not the cause, but the powers that be making the greediest possible decisions. I could go on and on about it....
