The various shadowbox projects I have seen inspired me to add it to my rabbit hole list. I had thought about several things to try, but then I was inadvertently reintroduced to my large fish in a bowl acrylic stained glass project and boom, here we are. One less chunk of MDF in my world and another to-do item checked off.
You have to love it when a first out trial looks this swell.
As shown it is filler, plant, filler, fish, water. The extra filler between plant and fish adds greatly to the depth look.
Initially I thought to use a blue hue or clear acrylic as a second layer, such that whatever was behind the project would show as with a real fishbowl. Lacking the resource needed, it was decided to paint the water onto a backplane. I may make another if I get a resource to my liking later and try a through the glass look.
This is now 5x6 but was larger in concept (10 wide). I reduced it so I could burn all 5 pieces needed off of one board.
Here is a picture I took to exhibit the depth a tad. The depth is awesome in person, but for some reason the picture lost the depth impact.
I may clean this up enough for a free laser design thread, not really decided yet and they are not going to let my bury myself in the computer today. So…
Happy Father’s day to all my peers.

Nice work!
