My Sakura Blossom Tree and self-kindness

[mchipman]

Two months ago, I built my Sakura Blossom Tree in a cramped space of our truck while waiting for my husband.

Today, I thought of jazzing it up and so I added resin, koi fishes, clay, 3d-printed bench and lots of patience and self-kindness.

The self-kindness part came from my frustration with resin and clay. As some of you know, they sometimes have a mind of their own.

So I took some time off to gather myself together and that helped bring my enthusiasm back.

Here I just imagined what it’s like to be alone in my thoughts whilst sitting under the Blossom tree. I bet it’s just peaceful and divine.

I love how it turned out, since this kit is very simple.

And with your resin mounting, it looks so much better.
I love the detail of the petals in the water.
