I Make an Underwater World Inside a Rock - Summary

Summary

A creator on Twitter, inspired by a glass artist's underwater scene encased in glass, attempts to replicate the effect by hollowing out a rock and filling it with resin to create an underwater scene. The process involves drilling, carving, baking polymer clay elements, painting tiny fish and corals, and assembling them inside the hollow rock. The project is completed by pouring resin into the rock to encapsulate the scene. Alongside the craft tutorial, the creator shares personal reflections on mental health and promotes therapy service BetterHelp.
