Caustic Pools Terrain

A happy accident can sometimes make a piece better than planned. Originally, I had planned for these pools to just have the larger bubbles (made from ping-pong balls and hot glue droplets) arranged in semi-transparent pools. While I was mixing the gloss medium and paint to form the pool's surface, I stirred too quickly and made the mixture foamy. Not thinking, I added this to the piece, hoping the bubbling would dissipate - which it didn't - before drying.

Really just paint and gloss medium whipped into a froth and poured into the depression. I went back in and stabbed with a wet brush when it was half dry to make the cracks.
