  • I love the fantasy of an Elven Forest, what better than to make a Lord of the Rings Book Nook and the perfect excuse to use my Green Stuff World silicone molds.
    Hello & welcome, It's Shirley 😊
    In the UK in March, it is still quite cold, grey and drab and we are waiting for the trees to finally sprout their beautiful green canopy. I can’t wait to walk my dogs under the lush green trees of the late spring and summer. In the mean time I have scratch-built my own fantasy forest book nook to keep me going, I hope you like it :)

    This is so lovely- the detail you put in was great, and the way the distance is managed makes it look so real! Sidenote: that water pitcher you have is adorable, as well!

    • @zestvisions
      @zestvisions  3 месяца назад

      Hi Dark Matters 😊, thank you for the lovely comments. Foam clay has become my most favourite clay👍 it's so easy to work, sticks so well to anything, takes texture really well and is light weight. The absolute best thing about it, is that it stays quite flexible when dry so does not chip or damage easily...I can't think of an application where it's not suitable. If you give it a try, let me know how you get on 👍😊

    @MarikaRaab 7 месяцев назад +1

    Very nice, how much work you invested, simply great how you used the calender sheets for background. Yet, the tree stems are too bulky in my opinion, you can use wire, twist it from bottom upwards to the branches and then cover with a thin layer of clay or acrylic mixed with baby powder and white glue. That allows more delicate shapes. For tree foliage I use artificial moss mixed with glue, then spray with matt varnish. Or you dip branches in glue and then sprinkle moss over them. Looks more natural, for different coloration you can apply darker shades of green colour to part of the moss. Just a suggestion.
    However, you did a great job, especially with the windows and water. Greetings from Germany, looking forward to seeing more of your art work❤

    • @zestvisions
      @zestvisions  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much for your suggestions, yes I have used that technique before, however the trees would not be seen as much on this project and most of them were only half the tree, also wiring the trees takes so much time for something that is more of a backdrop, however I really appreciate your comments. I hope you like my other videos and greetings from the UK 😊

    This looks really cool, except for one part, the fake plastic evergreen leaves. Everything else looks really awesome, but the plastic evergreen "leaves" look fake and plastic... maybe if you had painted them with a matte looking paint? I don't know what you could've done to take away the fake plastic look from them... Everything else looks great, though.
