It’s not so much the habitat part, but it’s incorporating the bog into the habitat so that it’s escape-proof. I managed to accomplish it with my previous pond, but like I said, it was kinda crappy looking — functional and practical, but not at all attractive. I know in my mind how I want it to work, but apparently I have trouble communicating my thoughts. I know this for a fact because I can explain something to my hubby (hubby in particular, but same with other people) explaining WHY I want something a certain way, explain the “physics,” and even show him examples. “Do you understand what I’m explaining?” Hubby: “yes.” Then, go to do the project, visit Home Depot (for example), and it’s “Why do you need that?” “I don’t understand what that’s for.” “That’s not how you explained it.” Etc, etc. Grrrr!
But, in typing this, I just had a wonderful idea! I play with polymer clay (a bakeable hobby media)! once before I made a miniature pond — I’ll see if I can find it or pics of it — and it was a wonderful visual! It wasn’t a real pond, but imagine those little village sets with a fake pond. I CAN MAKE A MOCK-UP! That way, even if the design isn’t exactly the same, the CONCEPTS are there!
THANK YOU! YOU GUYS ARE WONDERFUL AND I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU FOR INSPIRATION!
