Thanks for sharing your great ideas, i do wonder if the silicone (what ever it is) will ever dry at the bottom of the upside down  stand, it is so thick and needs air to dry

Have you tried to use the same Liquid Nails product to make the falling water? It may stick to the wax paper so maybe oiling it before hand will help it release when dry ??

That is going to take AGES to fully cure, if it ever does. And no, I haven't tried the Liquid Nails for the falling water... definitely something to look into. I even thought about attaching a frosting piping tip to the tube of Liquid Nails, to see how it comes out...

You need to fill the bowl in shallow layers, allowing each one to dry before adding more.

That's an excellent custom, EmGee. 

For water you could try "Scenic Water" which is reusable and "Solid Water" which is a two-part resin and described as "crystal clear".  You can also use two-pack clear epoxy glue for water quite effectively.

This is so creative, EmGee!  I am not familiar with most of the parts you used to build it, but you did a great job of assembling it!   :)9  It will be a beautiful centerpiece wherever you decide to put it.

Thanks Joe... here's a breakdown of the parts I used for the fountain:



A - The base is from the Airport Tower 4313 (although you can find the same piece in other sets, in different colors).
B - The supports are from the Super Set Dream Garden 4137 (again, this item is common on the fairy/princess sets).
C - Large Seahorse from the Mermaids Set 5002.
D - Pedestal from the Baby Elephants/Circus Set 4235.
E - Gold Basin is part of the fountain on the 4137 set.
F - Large Cilinder, from the Dog Circus Act 4237.
G - Coral, is from the same 5002 Mermaids set.
H - Dolphin, I don't remember what set I got this from, but dolphins are available from many different sets.

Like I mentioned, most of these items are also available from other sets, but these are the ones I snatched them from. :)
