2nd Step - Add something fun to make the base more original (if it's possible)

Add a shark shade on the base. Draw with an ikea lead pencil



3nd Step - Coat the base ;

Add the waves and sea relief....with hot glue gun  :D



The "water trail" is keep off the base during the operation. More easier to handle the glue gun without obstacles  ;)

4th step - Prepare the "water splash" ;

The "water splash" are made from a plastic bottle shaped into flame alike then coated with hot glue.
the hot glue will change the shapes under heat effect. The "splash" will get a more natural look then .



5th step - Add water effect to the base

Glue the "water trail" to the base and add the "water splash".

It is exciting to watch your imagination when put in motion!
The plastic bottle "water splash" is inspiring, but the touch of the shark shadow is super!
Good continuation!!!

here is the shark but i'm not very happy with the final result.

The shade must be darker to be seen under "water".
I have painted the shade with some light and dark grey as for a true shark, but with the thickness of glue, the color seems faded and the shark is nearly invisible under the waves, even with the shark fin...

here a close up :




Anyway i  :-* :-* :-* the final result !

i think the goal will be achieved ......in a few hours. ;D

Cheers
Eric

Majestic and spectacular! Many congratulations! It was worth the job you put!
Don't worry about the shark, it was a very good idea.
