Siara,
1st, amazing! There is so much to like about this project! Well done!
Second, is the water effect as translucent as it appears here? I can see from the front edge, the "root" from above and from underneath. If, and what I mean by this is, have you completely covered something by more than an inch (24mm) or so and can still clearly see what is beneath? This project it spawning a idea for me now and I have never used this before.
Cheers!
