I wanted to keep a piece of the ocean on my desk, so I made these tiny, translucent sea creatures.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share something I finished recently! As someone who is completely obsessed with ocean life, I’ve always wanted a little "aquarium" that doesn't require cleaning, haha.

I hand-crafted these miniature sea creatures—a little green tortoise, a chubby seal, a glowing jellyfish, a happy blue ray, a fish, and my personal favorite, a tiny yellow anglerfish! They are quite translucent, so when the daylight hits them, it really feels like they are swimming under the sun.

I arranged them into this little sea chart framed display. Whenever I look at it during a stressful workday, it instantly calms me down. Which little ocean buddy do you think turned out the best? 🪼🐋🐢
