I love that you show the initial approach and version 2. That’s more information for us viewers to learn from! Good tutorial, immediately subscribed

Smashing idea, It looks absolutely amazing! I wonder how good a crystal golem would come out of a process like this🤔

[poppletronva]

Tempted to experiment and try this with a cheap wig to see if I can finally figure an Ashton Greymoore (Critical Role C3) cosplay, because I wanted good looking crystals for his hair but didn't know where to start.

spray with a shellac to help keep the crystals from crumbling

Very cool! I have seen other videos show this experiment detail that the crystals should be coated in clear nail polish to create a protective barrier. Water vapour in the air can cause them to melt slowly. 👍

You showed up in my recommended and I'm glad I checked out your video. Even if I don't use this for my sessions, I'm absolutely going to try to make these just for around my room. Thank you for the content.

If you leave them in longer, the more crystals you will have..yes they is right, the way you crystals. Beautiful trees..❤

[DantheDM]

[barbielockett]

Beautiful trees, well done. I love trees!!❤

[Khorsario]

Great idea! Im going to give it a try.

[sebastiendesautels]

Wow this is amazing! Wille have to try that for my table :)

[CampaignTerrain]

Amazing. I've never seen a crystal tree in gaming. I've seen crystal trees, before... Heck there are even "DIY salt crystal trees"... buy I've never seen them in borax, nor used for tabletop. What a great idea! And pretty. Very cool

[urzmontst.george]

Coolest terrain workshop i've seen, ever. I'd like to see some Necron green, but im not complaining, top shelf, mate.

[stephenrumer]

I tried growing crystals for my table top but I didn't think of borak. Those came out fantastic

[MeganT_RatGirl]

Amazing! I want to cover everything in crystals now haha!

[m.mulder]

*jaw dropped* bout to cancel my grim dark campaign and do something more whimsical just to build these. By gawd Seb. They're amazing.

[EtienneDoyonLessard]

I'm thinking you could add some led lights to the twisting pipe cleaners to get some night glowing cristal trees.
