Watching her make the diorama was on my bucket list. Thanks, luv, for posting this great video! Loved it but sorry about your hiccups. Annie/Tennessee 💕
@@truefanforum3273 If you can make a diorama for a school project, it's kind of like that. I put electricity in my son's dioramas. There were little 10 light battery operated lights at the craft store. They worked great, for full moons, stars, campfires, lanterns, torches etc.
@@truefanforum3273 Lack of talent or skills should not be a barrier to creativity. If I ever get my own crafting channel up and running, I'm going to focus exclusively on absolute beginners, with projects for viewers who believe they have no talent and no skills. (Psst! Here's a secret! You have more talent than you think you do...!) ;-)
@@willmfrank That channel sounds great. I hope you can get it up and running. And my talents are of a literary nature. I am a shaper of words it not physical objects. Still, I suppose I am not horrible with my hands. Maybe I should give stuff like this a try. It does look like fun.
Thank you for bringing some joy back into my life. I was a diorama builder back in my youth. I would have been ecstatic to have all the wonderous tools you have to help you bring life to your creative imagination. I had stopped enjoying my creative hobbies similar to yours about 20 years ago. Over a year ago, I was finally was able to buy a 3d printer and began to feel those exciting feelings again. I've been fighting depression and chronic pain for some time now. And a few days ago I found your videos starting with the shelforama episode. I couldn't help but smile at the joy you had working on your projects. I was never as talented as you are with various skills, but I made it work for the time. I am picking up my tools again, I am looking at projects again. And I am so grateful to have found you on RUclips sharing your projects and lighting the fire under my ass to experience that same fun once again. Thank you.
It's been a year. I hope you are doing well. I have found that being creative helps in leaps and bounds in the battle against depression. Even smooshing mud can be stress relieving. Long distance hugs. Bevy
My cure for hiccups: A lot of people breathe in and hold their breath. This generally doesn't work. Try breathing OUT and holding your breath for as long as you can - there's a point when you start to panic a little but this passes, try to stay with it and your hiccups will be gone. What this does is... when you breathe in and hold your breath, your body knows it's fine because you have air in your lungs, but when you breathe out and get past that brief panic stage, your body literally freaks out because there is no air and that's kind of important, so it forgets anything not important - like hiccups - and focuses on survival. Works every single time for me. Obviously start breathing again or you'll pass out! Your shelforama is AWESOME. I LOVE it. QUESTION: What do you do to stop the wires/plastic surround getting damaged in the oven, or is it not hot enough to melt the plastic?
Isn't hiccups your diaphragma cramping? Like, what you describe helps me get rid of hiccups, but I didn't think it was because of fear I think it's because you force your diaphragma to relax lol I am no doctor, though
@@kaniyaru117 i think its a spasm rather than a cramp, which i think makes sense with what op said as your body focuses more on survival. I did not fact check this though so dont trust me
Martina over here is literally playing GOD by the end she's going to have a homebrew multiverse with all of these dioramas and we'll all part of the Champaign while she's DM-ing
I'm going to be honest. I don't think there has been a single thing you've made I didn't like. Thank you for re-inspiring me to go out and make things my own way. Keep it up!
Martina, I am absolutely sure you are told this all of the time, but I feel that I must say it anyway. You are absolutely positively an amazing artist! Whether it be painting, leather crafting, bookbinding, or woodworking your art is stunning. I just happened upon your and Hansi's channel the other day and I love watching you create all of the amazing things that you do. I find myself mesmerized by watching your creations come to life. I also like the way that you explain the technical side of the art project that you are working on in the videos. You make it easily understandable and I always feel that I know exactly what you are talking about even though I am not an artist. I'm a huge fan, thank you for what you do and keep the videos coming. You and Hansi stay safe out there and again, AMAZING!!
Another tip for vegetation, especially leaves: leaves. From actual trees, dried in the oven. Finely chop/cut/shred to whichever size you want. Or if you dont have any trees with leaves or dont feel like going outside: dried herbs! They come in different shapes and sizes and will work great! Both of these methods work great as is, but can also be dyed with paints if needed. Just use some wire/balls of hair/dust to make the «skeleton» of a bush/branch or even a tree and the leaves/herbs can be used to make that as well. So if you can’t afford «fancy grass», don’t have access to it where you live or feel your money is better spent elsewhere: there are plenty of good options!
Yeah, that'll work great as well, I've seen plenty of miniature painting/D&D/ etc channels on RUclips do the same! There's so much garbage or waste that could be used in stuff like this :D
@@syedarizvi7290 they might, but if they're dried out properly they shouldn't really do that. But that is one advantage about using fake stuff instead, though, by all means, that you don't risk that happening
You should try monster clay or plastilines, they never dry, can be put in a freezer to become rock hard or melt with hot air. Then you can sculpt et cast them to make silicon molds. The clay can be use again and again ! So maybe you won’t need to buy a lot of polymer clay which is expensive and can’t be reused :D
I think for the amount of clay she has been using it's not worth it. Maybe if she starts doing much bigger projects completely in clay, but the silicone itself very expensive probably more so than the clay. Also mould making is pretty finiky, time consuming and easy to mess up. If anything I would recommend using super sculpey (medium), at least when there isn't a clay shortage I can pick it up at Amazon for £10-13. I dislike Fimo, with a passion.
@@__Alo__ yes for small things that won’t be used twice, it isn’t necessary. But where I live sculpey is expensive even for a small quantity, so the same plastiline I used for years and the silicone is cheaper to me But if she need a lot of the same thing, it could be an interesting alternative (I hate fimo too)
@@aaya3525that's ashame about sculpey. Yeah that totally makes sense, one can only hope she'll sculpt something, mould it, cast it and sell it. Oh thank god, everyone seems to love Fimo, I thought I was the only one.
I would like to suggest a cave based shelforama where the backing is of something like vanta black so it looks like it is deeper than the shelf and your abilities are far better than mine. Awesome job on this elven cliff shelforama because it is beautiful.
Your house and the studio must be such a joy to walk around in, seeing all of the cool stuff it's decorated with and being able to be like " I made that!"
i just gotta say that you're pretty frickin brilliant with all of these projects you do. you think so quickly on the fly to find new ways of creating. it's super inspirational!
liked when you had the "shelforama" stacked on the other shelf with the waterfall hanging over....you could then make an underwater mystical world below
After seeing it on the wall I had a thought . You could paint a distant mountain scene and put it on the back the dimensional aesthetic would be amazing.
For hiccups, take a spoonful of water and put it in your mouth. (Water still on spoon) and try to swallow the water off the spoon. So far that’s the only thing that seems to work for me. Now, love this! This is very beautiful and a lovely idea for a shadow box!! Love your videos!!
Only if it were possible to add dim blue leds behind the waterfall, it would look even more magical. That water itself is a masterpiece! New follower!!!
You did a great job on this 😁. You could turn this into an actual fountain by just placing a planter underneath. I've made several, in my different homes. Whatever's on the bottom, must be very water tight. It holds the pump, & from there the tube will go up to the hanging part. Anything at all really, with plants. I say that cuz I've always covered the tube & cord with moss & vines. I like those half round, wire plant baskets best. I remove the coconut fiber & use moss. To keep moss from turning brown, you must spray it with "MASTERS" Floral & Fabric paint, in BASIL. That wire basket allows you to pop the tube out wherever you want... & If your bottom vessel is large & transparent, it's beautiful to see fish in there 😋! Keep having fun ok!
What a brilliant idea! I’ve been trying to find a place for my Christmas village but not something that takes a huge table. This year, they will be in a shelforama!
Another low budget thing I've done for tiny diorama stuff! If you get the lint that is on the lint catcher in your dryer and use a little bit of glue to stick it to a surface, you can cover it in acrylic paint and it makes pretty convincing dirt texture! It's a little finnicky to maneuver but it's effective and quite obviously cheap!
The struggle with hiccups is real! Brilliant job. Every time we think you can’t possibly create something cooler... you do! Loved how all the lighting turned out💀❤️
A thought if you haven't already tried it. I was making a cardboard house and wanted stained glass windows. I printed out stained glass pattern on clear acetate (color laser printer) and it worked beautifully. I attached small sections inside the window openings and the light shining through it is so beautiful.
Man I love these diorama videos, they really get my brain buzzing. Your castle diorama inspired me to make my own and this one does too, hopefully some day soon I'll actually start it!
Pretty much perfection as per usual. My only beef is that we get massively spoiled and will take miracles for granted and that the impossible will just take some time. I would have loved to be able to create things like you do, but sadly i turn into a ten thumbed spastic when i try, so that is unlikely. Sad because i would have loved to see how the river would have looked if you put some soft, roaming LEDs behind it, making a magical river. Both the hiccups and the "leaf me alone" pun had me in stitches and from the comments i gather i am not the only one. Never change and please continue to be creative. :D
Martina if you could get very small it would be a good photo shoot for you with your armor.☺ Very elven, very magical, very cool!👏🏻👏🏻💜💜🙌🏻🤩 p.s. as a child for hiccups they gave me lemon and sugar 🍋😆
That's really beautiful and I'm in love with the fact that it's in a shelf, that's actually smart because you have a masterpiece and you don't have to worry where to put it or move it every time just to get rid of dust, brilliant
Another masterpiece. That is the type of art piece I would love to have, to adorn my boring walls. You have outdone yourself, once again. Thank you again for sharing your artistic genius with us.
I came across your channel by you appearing on my feed. The first thing I saw you do were the Harry Potter books. AND NOW I HOOKED. Your work is absolutely incredible. Your hard work, determination and patience really pays off in every aspect of your work. You have truly inspired me to start my crafting once again. Thank you so very much for sharing. X
As usual your creative imagination is limitless! this is an awesome idea. I live in a place where storage space is very limited so wall hanging is an amazing idea! And yeah, people should leaf you alone! It's your wallet after all!!
I don't mean to be a party pooper but your comment is kind of unneccessary. You don't know how Martina handles those comments. I have a "flaw" on my body too and everytime someone mentions it, it's just a reminder that i'm not "normal" and it is a flaw rather than Just a small difference. I know you don't have the intention of being mean behind it but try and think about how comments Like this can be perceived :)
Many of us realized this at about the studio remodel video. The comment section was quite a buzz about it for awhile. Since then, it feels like she allows the camera to focus on her hands a bit more.
Huh, never noticed either. Kind of a cool quirk 😊 I have a jacked up bent finger, but I couldn't imagine not having it. Guess this proves you can still be awesome with one less digit.
Just a thought, instead of having the wall paint show through in the empty spaces, why not add a painting backing? That way it would look like the diorama continues on and give more of the third dimension. I love the idea though. I always wondered what people did with large dioramas they made (storage or display).
@@kawaii_kraken literally anyone can draw a circle using a compass. All u do is select the radius size, set the point on the paper, and spin the compass around. Perfect circle, zero talent needed.
I've only watched a couple of your videos, but I'm going back for all of them! You're so imaginative, such an inspiration. Cool things you make, lady. Resin waterfalls are pretty easy. If you want to be able to repeat the shapes, then yes, you will need a mold. Not many of us have a vacuum press, but silicone mold kits are pretty readily available. Or, if you can't afford that, you can do a one-time mold with aluminum foil. Easily shaped and easy to remove from resin (especially if you use a mold release like silicone spray, WD-40, or even petroleum jelly). If you want to sculpt, you can always use plasticine or some other clay that won't air dry and is reusable. That way, you get EXACTLY what you want. The only tiny bit of constructive criticism on the waterfalls is that they're flat. Yes, you added dimension to the texture, but no waves or odd spraying pieces that would make it totally believable. I mean, waterfalls don't go over straight edges. They go over rocks and hills and valleys in the bed that will make them puff out or sink in ... and are almost never flat. Just a suggestion to think about in the future. I mean, would you paint a flat waterfall with a straight edge anywhere? I'm guessing not. To that, these turned out great and look amazing in the diorama. Laser cutter ... wish I could afford one. I have all kinds of cardboard, so I'm just going to hand cut mine. Not quite so perfect, but 100% hands-on. Note from an ER nurse about hiccups. The problem is a glitch in the vagal nerve that causes your diaphragm to fire off like this to cause a hiccup. There are several cures, holding your breath can help sometimes. For a case of intractable hiccups that lasts days (or weeks, yikes), it takes medication. However, if you get a cup of water, bend over so that you're upside down, and try to drink the water while upside down, that usually helps. Why? First of all, laughing at the absurdity will disrupt the signal to the vagal nerve and stop the hiccups. But that may mean that you have to be in the presence of someone else for that to happen. Secondly, it's the combination of the pressure on the diaphragm from bending over coupled with the muscle contractions that are needed for swallowing that disrupt the signal to the vagal nerve. A third common cause is that you have a bubble in your stomach that is triggering the vagal nerve. That means you just need to burp. Release the bubble, and the hiccups stop. If you just wiggle like a child at your stomach, this could dislodge the bubble so you can burp, and the hiccups stop. All of this is honestly valid. "Leaf me alone" ...😅 Calm down people. Gold leaf these days, if bought in a craft shop, isn't expensive. And even if it was worth something, there are many worse ways to use it ... like Goldschlager. It's put into liquor that's only meant to get you drunk. It's not expensive. There's also edible gold leaf that's put on everything from wedding cakes to steak. So, calm down. She can gather and use the excess. I use Fimo rarely, and I had no idea there was a translucent variety! very cool
Martina, I have recently discovered your channel and I have binge watched most of your videos. You were litterally the channel I was looking for! Keep up the great content. I just cant believe you aren't more popular yet!

@@lucilep.6175 I'M SAYING 😭
I've got those shelfs and I wanted to do a diorama for my nendroieds for years, now I have ideas after watching this
Me : I'm not going to start anymore projects, I have too many already...
*starts video* Ooohhhhhh.......Pretty!!!!! *runs to craft horde for shelves*
SAME😭
You are so inspiring and fun to watch! Thanks for doing you so well 😍.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
A thought if you haven't already tried it. I was making a cardboard house and wanted stained glass windows. I printed out stained glass pattern on clear acetate (color laser printer) and it worked beautifully. I attached small sections inside the window openings and the light shining through it is so beautiful.
Hi how are you doing?
So... Could this alternatively be called a Shelfie? :D
I kept staring at you and staring like what the heck is missing, and I realized your braces are off! Your smile looks wonderful!

I thought the hiccups part was the best but then, "Leaf me alone" came! 🤣🤣🤣
Stunning work, as always, though. A different realm again. 🖤🖤🖤
Man I love these diorama videos, they really get my brain buzzing. Your castle diorama inspired me to make my own and this one does too, hopefully some day soon I'll actually start it!
I'm sorry but I'm laughing tears right now because of the hiccups :'D
I can watch trhis video over and over just for the hiccups
Pretty much perfection as per usual. My only beef is that we get massively spoiled and will take miracles for granted and that the impossible will just take some time. I would have loved to be able to create things like you do, but sadly i turn into a ten thumbed spastic when i try, so that is unlikely. Sad because i would have loved to see how the river would have looked if you put some soft, roaming LEDs behind it, making a magical river. Both the hiccups and the "leaf me alone" pun had me in stitches and from the comments i gather i am not the only one. Never change and please continue to be creative. :D
Martina if you could get very small it would be a good photo shoot for you with your armor.☺
Very elven, very magical, very cool!👏🏻👏🏻💜💜🙌🏻🤩
p.s. as a child for hiccups they gave me lemon and sugar 🍋😆
what a great way to have a nightlight and art together... just a photosensor tucked away there... nicely done!
Beautiful well done Outstanding performance
Hello 👋how are you doing?
That's really beautiful and I'm in love with the fact that it's in a shelf, that's actually smart because you have a masterpiece and you don't have to worry where to put it or move it every time just to get rid of dust, brilliant
Another masterpiece. That is the type of art piece I would love to have, to adorn my boring walls. You have outdone yourself, once again. Thank you again for sharing your artistic genius with us.
Now I need Rivendell like this on my wall.
Xie Lian!.. Well, I love "Heaven Official’s Blessing" so much 😌
@@melanblue8070 ❤️❤️❤️
I love the ones who love it ^^
Blows my mind what you can create with such basic building materials.
I came across your channel by you appearing on my feed. The first thing I saw you do were the Harry Potter books. AND NOW I HOOKED.
Your work is absolutely incredible. Your hard work, determination and patience really pays off in every aspect of your work. You have truly inspired me to start my crafting once again. Thank you so very much for sharing. X
That water really does look so cool!! Also, it's amazing that you built something this good looking with mostly basic materials :0
As usual your creative imagination is limitless! this is an awesome idea. I live in a place where storage space is very limited so wall hanging is an amazing idea! And yeah, people should leaf you alone! It's your wallet after all!!
I actually got the same shelves (in white) laying around and I didn't know what to do with them.. might do a little shelforama myself 😂😍
Hell yeah! Go for it! 🤩
Outstanding! I wanna make one now 😃
This is absolutely stunning. BTW if you don't want to waste the gold leaf you can always use the extra by cutting it up and putting it in your resin.
Lorraine Carlson
You can't make something without there being waste from it.
How she creates these portals that so simply teleport you to other worlds get me every time!
I have a feeling that I probably gonna be obsessed with the shelforama for the next few weeks😍😍
The hiccups 😹😹😹 but the finished product is AMAZING!!!!! 🙀😻
You are right the goldleaf really makes those buildings look awesome!
This looks amazing!! I love the colours of everything, with the turquoise/blue roofs and the white walls and gold, it's fantastic!!
Thumbs up earned for the hiccup segment alone. They are annoying to you, but they are also youtube gold!! Thanks for not deleting from the episode. :)
I want this so badly for my wall 🤩. I'm so going to have to make something like this.
Only realized now that her left pinky is missing, not a bad thing though. Amazing work as always!
wait thats wild, ive been a fan for a long time and didnt notice either.
I don't mean to be a party pooper but your comment is kind of unneccessary. You don't know how Martina handles those comments. I have a "flaw" on my body too and everytime someone mentions it, it's just a reminder that i'm not "normal" and it is a flaw rather than Just a small difference. I know you don't have the intention of being mean behind it but try and think about how comments Like this can be perceived :)
I just noticed too I wonder what happened maybe one day if she comfortable she'll tell us
Many of us realized this at about the studio remodel video. The comment section was quite a buzz about it for awhile. Since then, it feels like she allows the camera to focus on her hands a bit more.
Huh, never noticed either. Kind of a cool quirk 😊 I have a jacked up bent finger, but I couldn't imagine not having it. Guess this proves you can still be awesome with one less digit.
I was skeptical about the moulded epoxy waterfall sections but I was impressed with how they turned out. It looks amazing
I have been following you for years now, I have only now noticed your left hand. ITS ADORABLE !!!!
An idea: a shelforama with a 3d glass painting for the background 🤩
1:16 OMG I HATE THIS TOO I got goosebumps. I thought I was the only person who has transient tic to this sound
When Martina gets so stressed about hiccups I just want to hug her xD our poor girl! Do not worry, we love you with and without hiccups
You can also glue cotton sheets or pulled cotton balls at the bottom of the falls and it'll give the splash and mist effect
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! 👩🎨
Just a thought, instead of having the wall paint show through in the empty spaces, why not add a painting backing? That way it would look like the diorama continues on and give more of the third dimension. I love the idea though. I always wondered what people did with large dioramas they made (storage or display).
Omg I live for these vids! 🥰 It's amazing what you are able to create ✨
"you can also cut this by hand"
*shows a circle*
me who's been unable to draw a circle ever: (◎д◎')
Protractor?
no
@@ohhxcake5434 U mean compass? (The drawing type as opposed to the direction type) A protractor is the arch shaped thing used to measure angles.
@@kawaii_kraken literally anyone can draw a circle using a compass. All u do is select the radius size, set the point on the paper, and spin the compass around. Perfect circle, zero talent needed.
@@tianamariee6287 OMFG LMFAO I SAID PROTRACTER
I've only watched a couple of your videos, but I'm going back for all of them! You're so imaginative, such an inspiration. Cool things you make, lady.
Resin waterfalls are pretty easy. If you want to be able to repeat the shapes, then yes, you will need a mold. Not many of us have a vacuum press, but silicone mold kits are pretty readily available.
Or, if you can't afford that, you can do a one-time mold with aluminum foil. Easily shaped and easy to remove from resin (especially if you use a mold release like silicone spray, WD-40, or even petroleum jelly).
If you want to sculpt, you can always use plasticine or some other clay that won't air dry and is reusable. That way, you get EXACTLY what you want. The only tiny bit of constructive criticism on the waterfalls is that they're flat. Yes, you added dimension to the texture, but no waves or odd spraying pieces that would make it totally believable. I mean, waterfalls don't go over straight edges. They go over rocks and hills and valleys in the bed that will make them puff out or sink in ... and are almost never flat. Just a suggestion to think about in the future. I mean, would you paint a flat waterfall with a straight edge anywhere? I'm guessing not.
To that, these turned out great and look amazing in the diorama.
Laser cutter ... wish I could afford one. I have all kinds of cardboard, so I'm just going to hand cut mine. Not quite so perfect, but 100% hands-on.
Note from an ER nurse about hiccups. The problem is a glitch in the vagal nerve that causes your diaphragm to fire off like this to cause a hiccup. There are several cures, holding your breath can help sometimes. For a case of intractable hiccups that lasts days (or weeks, yikes), it takes medication.
However, if you get a cup of water, bend over so that you're upside down, and try to drink the water while upside down, that usually helps. Why? First of all, laughing at the absurdity will disrupt the signal to the vagal nerve and stop the hiccups. But that may mean that you have to be in the presence of someone else for that to happen.
Secondly, it's the combination of the pressure on the diaphragm from bending over coupled with the muscle contractions that are needed for swallowing that disrupt the signal to the vagal nerve.
A third common cause is that you have a bubble in your stomach that is triggering the vagal nerve. That means you just need to burp. Release the bubble, and the hiccups stop. If you just wiggle like a child at your stomach, this could dislodge the bubble so you can burp, and the hiccups stop.
All of this is honestly valid.
"Leaf me alone" ...😅
Calm down people. Gold leaf these days, if bought in a craft shop, isn't expensive. And even if it was worth something, there are many worse ways to use it ... like Goldschlager. It's put into liquor that's only meant to get you drunk. It's not expensive. There's also edible gold leaf that's put on everything from wedding cakes to steak. So, calm down. She can gather and use the excess.
I use Fimo rarely, and I had no idea there was a translucent variety! very cool
you should have way more subscribers for the amount of effort you put into your videos! truly amazing
Totally getting Lord of the Rings vib here and I love it, you guys are so inspiring❤❤
everytime you make a new project, it's just blow my mind, all of them look incredible!! :)
1. Im in love with this shelforama!
2. The hickup parte just made my day ;D
You, my dear, aren't an artist. You're a visionary and what lovely work you do. It's a privilege for you to share what you do and how. Thank you.
Dang! Rivendell in a box!!! Sweet job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Martina, I have recently discovered your channel and I have binge watched most of your videos. You were litterally the channel I was looking for! Keep up the great content. I just cant believe you aren't more popular yet!
Thank you so much! 😄🙏
I feel your pain so much! Hickups are out of hell xD But I laughed so fricking hard about that, sorryyyyy
I’m just here for the bad pun, then I’ll leaf.
Too bed...😂
I really love seeing you do your thing. Your range of talents is quite impressive.
Your videos are so therapeutic you wouldn't understand🥺 Thank you so much , your always spark my creativity🤗
