So much effort went into completing this video. I've never made anything quite this intricate in my entire life. At least, not in miniature. I really hope you guys like it.
Kat, it was so great working with you! I definitely want to collaborate more with you!
Most miniature artists create their products in 1:12 scale. I create mine in 1:24 scale; twice as small! My main goal is to keep the detail in such tiny objects that if you were to look at it in a scene, you can’t tell it’s a miniature.
I upload a new video every Thursday (sometimes Friday), so please be on the lookout for new content! Subscribe if you haven’t, or if you were thinking about doing it~

In addition to all her other skills, this woman is a materials master!
this is the Mrs... youre work is astounding and more adventurous than i could ever hope to be. absolutely gorgeous!!!
Hello again! So very glad you like it!
Absolutely beautiful. Your skill and attention to detail is quite extraordinary. Nice to know that even an expert with your skills can still make mistakes.🙏🙏🙏
I love all the research you put into making this acurate. Gorgeous work!
You are incredibly gifted!!! So talented. What patience. Me, I just want the finished product. I know my limitations.
This is absolutely amazing, I would never have the patience to pull off anything like this! I love it how you've obviously done your research on every element of the garden which really shows in the finished product!
Thank you so much! I really love Japanese culture, and want to do it justice whenever I can. I'm glad it came out appropriately!
I totally love seeing your sketches and planning, and all that background technically-less-artsy stuff. I tend to obsessively overplan when I make stuff, mostly because I enjoy it. It's nice to see all those little details, like the names of the specific koi you're putting in. The waterpump is a great idea, and I love how you used the foam to help hide it away. So many neat little things you did.
Wow, thank you so much! There's just something about understanding what I'm making that gives the piece a little extra love. I'm hoping that in the future, when I make an actual dollhouse for all of these items, I can make it the exact height of the foam and slip the garden next to it as part of the yard. ;p
That's such a cool idea. Maybe if I ever finish refurbishing my dollhouse I'll do the inverse and add in a pond.
This is really it's very nice
凄い技術で感動しました！とても可愛いです！
The detail is incredible and the rigging is absolute genius!
Thank you! As per usual, it could have been better, haha. I like your Naruto Seven Mist guy. He's the best one in my opinion.
Great job! Dirt/rock issue aside...lol! You are very talented and I admire your work and your attention to detail! You have a great future in this craft I think!
Thank you! If I could just foresee the problem before it happens.. I hope I do too. I really like doing this, so I hope so. :3
Beautiful model! I love your attention to detail and the fact that you've shared the names and cultural importance of many pieces. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but using alcohol instead of water will heavily reduce the surface tension and it will allow the bamboo water feature (deer scare?) to work as intended, since ethanol doesn't have the same polarity issues that water does.
I don't know whether ethanol would form a chemical reaction with some of the other materials in the pond though, so obviously check that before trying. Ethanol does, of course have it's own issues (flammable, unsafe odour and evaporates faster than water), but it is soluble in water, so assuming it's safe to use in your pond, a mix of ethanol and water might work.
Oh, no! I just saw this comment! Thank you very much! I try to be as well-informed as possible before making my pieces. Trying liquids with different surface tension properties was something I considered. However, with the time frame I allotted myself, it never came to fruition, haha. I'll go back into it one day and see if I can help it with that kind of stuff. I like some of your suggestions, so I'll definitely be using those.
This is beautiful!!! I LOVE it. You are so darned personable and real. It was such a joy to work with you.
I'm just now getting to replying to my responses, haha. Thank you so much! This was a great experience and I learned SO MUCH from you and from being pushed to using mediums I'm not too familiar with.
This is absolutely beautiful! You are quite the artist. Great job!
This is astonishing! The rock thing hurts my heart cause I used to "bathe" my rock collection as a kid.. lol.
looks amazing
Thank you for sharing your experience, ideas and skill. I love the commentary! you cracked me up when you showed the burnt thing and the rock. lol! I appreciate you sharing that, keeping it real! Excellent*****
Thank you so much! I'm trying to be myself around you guys, so it makes me happy knowing that there are good vibes all around. :3
That was Amazing.
Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply!
Your so talented and have a lot of patience love your voice! Thanks for Sharing keep them coming..
Aw, thank you! I've never been complimented on my voice before, haha. :3
This is AWESOME
This is very inspirational!! ❤️
Beautiful !!!!!!!!! I love it !
Amazing scene and fountain. I make "still" Koi ponds, so I'm impressed with your ingenuity and guts!!! I am so sorry the rock(s) exploded. I know you were just sick! Beautiful job!
Just WOW!! You're So talented and creative. Stunning. You've a real gift.
Ahhh, thank you so much! :D
This is super super cute. Really amazing! I love it! Hugs from Norway.
Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply! Hugs back!
beautiful pond/garden!, excellent work, bfs!!!
Awesome pond. The duitsu does not have scales. What you made is a showa.
Amazing work! I wish I had the patience or the talent to work on such a project!
Wow! I love it!
It’s so beautiful !
You are so incredibly talented and you seem to love what you do. I hope you can do this as a career and make a lot of money, you deserve to. Great job xox
Seriously amazing work--dissolving rock and all!
Thank you! I wanted to show that nothing ever really goes perfectly well. :p
I love this video! I had an idea and you brought it to life!! I'm going to start working on my miniature right away. Your tips are super helpful, thanks! I love your hand drill, cute tools too! ❤❤❤
Brilliant! Your attention to details is magnificent.
the best way to fix down your grass flocking is to mix a 50/50 pva glue mix with water and a few drops of dish detergent . put this in a spray bottle and spray lightly over your flock . its a model railroading trick . love the work by the way .
Thanks for that! I see a lot of model railroad pieces and want to learn their tricks! My way was poop and I know it, haha. I will certainly try that next time!
I think your methods are great . I am a big fan of anything Japanese and your design and build are great ,the thing with the clump of dirt exploding was quite weird lol , when if happened I thought it was some insect or something that had gotten into the water. we can all learn the tricks from each other and the cross over between crafting and model building of any kind is good for your learning curve. keep up the great work .
That is absolutely incredible. I am jealous! I may try to make it in 1:6 scale for Barbies, but wowza, I am blown away! Thank you for sharing!
If you do, please, please show me! I would really love to see someone else's interpretation!
I'm actually really impressed. I would've gotten so pissed off so fast and just given up. Good job 😂
I almost did, but I stuck it out. It took a lot longer than I had made plans for. ;p
wow this is so beautiful you are so talented !that's okay about the little dirt Rock everything is a learning experience. This looks so amazing thank you for sharing bless your heart!!!
Thank you very much! Perhaps I'll make another one day that doesn't have such adversities, haha.
You’re amazingly talented! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. 🤓
Thank you for the kinds words!! It is very much appreciated! :333
IM DYING. THIS IS AMAZING. I LOVE THIS VIDEO. THE ROCK. LOL.
That darn rock, haha. Such a failed experiment! I want to go back to making something with the new knowledge I have accrued!
A true artist , I love your work
Wow, thank you so much! I needed that today. ;3
OMG I LOVE IT!!!! AMAZING JOB!!!!
amazing. i have nothing but love for your videos! not even a touch of OCD either. i hope you get what I mean by that ;). wow, when the rock blew up, no words. it was funny to see the water bottle just stop and stay there for a while lol, sorry. i can only imagine your face at that moment. thanks for sharing 😊 ❤
I absolutely stared for like 20 seconds, in shock, trying to figure out what just happened. It looked like actual fish poop, so I was very, very confused, hahaha. I swear that rock was.. HARD AS A ROCK. Whyyy
KrakenMakeRuckus lol i can't imagine 😊
WOW! This is incredible...
Thank you very much~
This is amazing. I have seen a lot of ponds lately but this one is insane. I can't wait to try this.
Thank you so much! I told Kat from Real Life Dollhouse Miniatures, verbatim, that I wanted to do something "epic" for our collaboration. She did not disappoint, hahaha.
So, awesome little garden, for your deer scare, you could do a small electromagnet that turns on, and then off every few seconds, or maybe some thing to weigh it down enough so it returns to it's position when empty?
Also, check out a product called Neverwet, it may or may not help your projects?
Hey, that's probably the best solution I've found for this problem! Other than pouring solvents into the water to reduce water surface tension, the magnet thing is a great idea. Thank you! I will also look in to Neverwet!
Incredible work! So sorry about "That rock". I can only imagine what was going on in your head when that happened.
Wouldn't adding a small weight to the Deer Scare help bring it back up? Even a piece of the "ballast rock" glued to the underside might counterbalance it. Just a thought.
Keep up the great work! And, as I always say ... Have a better day!
This is so pretty!!!!!
Thank you! Your name made me giggle. I love beans
Wow, you're so talented!! : )
Great pond. I have to put my work on the back burner for awhile, do to the hurricane.
Oh, no! I hope everything is alright on your end! :(
KrakenMakeRuckus Thank we are going to pray & hope for the best.
stunning work!!!
KAREN!!!!!!!! you're incredible, i'm legitimately amazed, this is so lovely!!! omg i can't think of anything to say i just love you and this is wonderful and you're wonderful
AAAAHH
Incredible... thank you 😄
Have you tried adding some more weigh to the end of the deer scare to make it come back up ? Eg : a small lead shot used for fishing could fit inside. Just a thought. Great project and really inspiring
This is really awesome! Great job!
Even being warned about the "rock," I did not expect it to explode!
Beautiful! Too bad about that sneaky piece of dirt there. But it's still awsome! ^^
I know! I can't believe that I have to check my rocks from now on!
Maybe have the joint of the deer scare glued to the position you want so that it works? Can’t hurt.... (I don’t know I’m only finishing a second year of art in high school..)
This is amazing!!!
Thank you very much!
Love ❤️ It
Thank you~~
you give me so much inspiration and i love your work !!!!!
Thank you very much! That's all I can hope for, haha!
Wow this is amazing! You are so skilled!
Thank you so very much!
Wow! U r so talented.. I don't understand all the physics and those numbers but I love how the end result looks like!
Hahaha, thank you! It's not perfect, but at least I tried to do some research.
What “physics and numbers”?
This is so beautiful 😊👍
Thank you, Kirsten! It was a time and a half, that's for sure.
My heart sank when I saw that rock dissolve. I was afraid it was some kind of animal turd you had picked up.
Hahaha, you can tell from the video that my heart sank as well. I literally stopped and stared for like 20 seconds in real time. I laughed at myself when editing.
I love this
This is a beautiful work! Looking forward to your next video
Thank you! Maybe something a little less complicated. ;3
Wow im going try to make it btw great job
Thank you! I'd love to see what it looks like if you do!
Hey! Wonderful work! Do you think I can use thick black plastic for the bottom of the lake? What kind of glue did you use for stones? Thanks
Wondeful job! Loved how detailed and how well you explained all the steps. Curious about the names of what drill tools and sanding chizel sp? you use?
I can tell that you have a beautiful mind.
so nice👍👍👍
I believe the bambu doesn't "swing" because the sealed end doesn't have enough weight. Have you tried anything to make it a bit heavier?
Awesome work!! Could you possibly use a food grade emulsifier to reduce the water tension?
One day, when I do another water project, I will definitely use one or more of these inputs, haha. I never got to it on the pond. :/
Um, just a suggestion, but why go to all that work to make the deer scare thingy out of big blocks of wood when you could just find the right size of REAL bamboo? I've made my own deer scare out of real bamboo in that miniature size for a miniature Zen garden I made a week ago. Just saying...it saves a lot of time and work. ~Janet in Canada

Just fyi, an oil based varnish will eat away at the polymer clay over time and you might end up with leaks. coating in resin might have been a better idea
adding a few drops of dish soap to the water would lower the surface tension . But i,m not sure if it would cause bubbles with the waterfall
I was afraid of that, for sure. I'll have to experiment with a couple of additives and liquids that people have recommended.
Have you tried using a tiny amount of detergent to reduce the water surface tension? Obviously if you use too much you will have too many bubbles.
I read up on a few liquids with loved surface tension, but forgot to experiment once I shot the last bits of footage I needed. Now that I have nothing but the piece itself to lose, I'll probably try a couple of liquids that are readily available and supposedly work. If it does end up working, you can bet that I'll let y'all know in the next video or something. ;3
Oops. Lower* hahaha
KrakenMakeRuckus 😂😂
I loved the pond and the bridge and everything but you talked about the bench but never showed how you made it, do you have a tutorial on the bench in another video that can be watched 🤗
I made the bench in my last video! You can watch how I made it with more love than I made these other objects, hahaha. I should have mentioned in the beginning of the video where you could find it. :p
KrakenMakeRuckus thank you I just discovered I am subscribed to your TH-cam 😹😹 but have not seen any for a while as I am subscribed to so many now and try to watch them all so I'm off to catch up on your TH-cam now 🤗🤗
So if a person wanted to make the same things you make in 1/12th scale we would just have to double your measurements?
Yes, you are correct! My pond layout is a fairly big one though, so if you find it to be too big an area, maybe scale it back if you so desire, haha. I would love to see it if you make it!
Would some glycerin or liquid soap decrease the surface tension of the h2o
I had that planned as an option, but feared it would create bubbles from the waterfall. I'll have to experiment soon.
KrakenMakeRuckus you might want to try adding a little dishwasher rinse aid, like Jet Dry, to the water. It reduces the surface tension, but doesn't suds up like detergent. it also has a lot less ingredients, so I'd think it would be less likely to go icky... maybe also less likely to mess up the workings. I first read of dipping a silicone mold in Jet Dry solution before casting something very small and detailed in plaster, to prevent bubbles, and it worked well for that.
What kind of water pump did you use? And where did you get it?
What materials did you use?
We are all smart
hi where do u get that koi fish?
From where can I get the wood for bamboo sticks
I bought mine from Hobby Lobby!
Can you use this for a live turtle habitat?🤨🤔
I bet if it was a lot bigger, it might be safe. I'm not sure what effects E6000 glue would have on the integrity of the water levels, but the water pump should certainly circulate water appropriately. I would definitely do some research on your glue though.
Webster Dictionary pronounces the word "fileting" as "fih LAY ing." So, when you say " fih LET ing," are you talking about a different technique or are you talking about fileting? I know the word is tricky. I just want to make sure I duplicate your beautiful Koi pond using the correct techniques. Thanks.
I didn't realize a lot of people wouldn't know this term. Here's what I'm talking about:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillet_(mechanics)
When you fillet something, it turns a corner into a curve, basically. Both inwards and outwards. :p
I'm trying to put together a FAQ for everyone, so I'll add this question in there! It's always nice to better understand my audience so I can better help you in the future! Thank you!
Good, Thank you, But never see the panorama.
停願
watching you use your left hand was very disorienting 😅
Hi, just subscribed, this pond is fantastic !!
This is too cute! I’m dead!
I’m wondering if you may be able to help me. I’ve been searching for a nice, dark, rich soil to use for a graveyard scene I’ve been working on. Everything I’ve found has either been too light & sand colored or super red. Do you have any ideas of where I might find such a product? Doesn’t need to be water resistant.
Thank you so much! That's a super great question. I would recommend two things: a mixture of fine grain sand and perhaps coffee grounds or tea grounds? TheTerrainTutor has some cool videos for like 1:72 scale or something crazy small, but I'm sure that's too small for what you're working with. I can't remember who, but I've seen someone use loose leaf tea for miniature dirt/mulch. If you mix several different kinds, I bet you can get the mixture you're looking for! I personally wouldn't mind the smell of raw tea in my house, so hopefully you might consider this, hahaha.
KrakenMakeRuckus thanks!
This is amazing
Thank you! :3333
