dollhouse miniatures-Need to make something look like liquid in a container without using epoxy.?
I am teaching a miniatures class and want to have something resembling a green "liquid" in a witch's cauldron. Any ideas other than using epoxy? Want something easy to use in class. Thanks.
Future floor polish would probably be best due to total cost for a number of students, quicker setting-time, etc. (Btw, Future has recently been renamed "Pledge--With Future Shine" since it was bought out by the makers of the Pledge products. Mop 'N Glo, if that's still sold, is the same thing. Huge bottle of either for a few dollars. Check Walmart/Target and drug stores if you can't find them at groceries.)
You can color Future with anything water-based --like watercolor paints (the concentrated ones in tubes would be best), water-based inks/dyes, food colors (the thick ones would give strongest colors), acrylic paints (don't use much or color will become more opaque rather than transparent), etc.
Some of the other things would also work, but may be more expensive or fiddly:
...gloss acrylic medium (near acrylic paints in craft/art supply stores)
...clear fingernail polish (use the water-based kind, for acrylic nails, if you want to use water-based colorants)
...clear polyurethane (water-based for water-b. colorants)
...gelatin, but will naturally have a yellowish cast so add *blue* coloring to get green
...even diluted permanent white glues should work, but take a long time to become really clear probably... experiment
A number of those could be applied using a drinking straw (or tiny coffee straw) if you don't have a bunch of eyedroppers... the old technique: put end of straw in liquid, block other end of straw with finger, move to area where liquid is wanted, remove finger to deposit liquid.
"safe" resins, by the way (though have softer surfaces or softer surfaces from body heat, etc.):
...floral setting resin (very safe), in floral depts of craft stores
...Easy Cast ... a tweaked version of epoxy resin (safe)
For resins of any kind, color with artists oil paints rather than with water-based colorants.
Have fun!

Make a Fairy Garden for Your Kids Party
This project is a truly unique kids party activity, combining fun, fantasy, and learning. Kids love getting their hands dirty and learning how things grow. They will also love the idea of making a magical garden place for a fairy to live.
A miniature garden takes little space and can rest on a tabletop. Maintenance requires only a light misting from time to time and watching for fairies to come to call. Just kidding about that last part, but you never know...
Start by collecting various containers such as woven baskets, large shallow bowls or deep dish clay saucers (like a birdbath), or even discarded bureau drawers. Check yard sales for innovative ideas and inexpensive materials.
Next, supply potting soil and a selection of small plants that will reach under a foot when fully grown. Dwarf zinnias, marigolds, violets, ivy, baby's tears and sprigs of vinca are all good choices. There are many types of mosses that will work nicely too, fitting into corners and small areas easily to add texture and interest. A variety of low-growing herbs such as thyme and rosemary lend aroma to the mix as well.
Start by lining your garden container with heavy duty plastic, fill to within an inch of the top with potting soil then kids are ready to landscape the top. Let them choose their favorite diminutive plants, interspersing them with various materials to add charm and character to the fairy garden.
For example, turn a colorful plant pot on its side and submerge it halfway in the soil to serve as a proper fairy dwelling. Add dollhouse sized furniture to set in the garden, popsicle sticks to construct a fairy fence, or small flat rocks to make a wonderful stepping stone path.
A small mirror symbolizing water making a faux gazing pool. The round flat glass beads
used in vases make nice accent pieces too. Tiny garden accessories like terra cotta pots and shovels give your garden a "lived-in" look.
Fairy gardens needn't be for little girls only. Boys can make a miniature dinosaur den using many of the same materials. Herbs, moss and other green plants can make a forest or wooded area in which small plastic dinosaurs return from extinction to live another day. Soil mounded to one side forms a volcano, spilling red aquarium stone lava.
A construction site garden is another option for boys. Tiny rocks, stick logs, and craft stick lumber can be stacked up waiting for the big rigs to move them. Small toy bulldozers and cranes can be scattered about, among the plantings.
These whimsical gardens can go wherever your child's imagination takes them. You provide the materials, they supply the ideas and creativity. Planting and maintaining a miniature garden teaches kids about plants, caring for living things, and most all the fun of gardening.

On the Ponderosa $15.98 Saying that there's nothing quite like hearing Lorne Greene sing is something of an understatement: the man who starred as a patriarch in Battlestar Galactica, Code Red, and, most memorably, Bonanza, has a preposterously booming, uncomfortable-sounding baritone that makes him sound as though he's never quite sure of what's going on around him. Bizarrely enough, he scored a number one hit with "Rin... |
