Sculpted 'oyster mushrooms' for frog's tank - work in progress!

The magnets from KJMagnetics are a fantastic price, but I just checked. To get 30 of the size I'd want, only $57. Not bad! With shipping to AU? $190. Er, not so much! Thanks for the suggestion though. =)

Super fast pic, I washed the mushroom really well, dried it out, grabbed a quick photo and pulled it out again. The resin is cured so it's non toxic, but to be 100% sure I want to leave it at LEAST a week before it's in longer than a minute or two.

New Baby seemed to like it. Settled right in and was annoyed when I kicked her off. Aww.

For the people worried about super strong magnets scratching or breaking glass, I will be coating the 'outside' magnets in a capsule of urethane rubber. It's grippy, will prevent sliding and also protect glass and fingers from pinches and breaking.

That's exactly what I was going to say for the ones concerned about the glass :P Except I didn't know what the stuff was called, I was just gonna say "some kind of styrofoam or rubber backing."

Just waiting on magnets to come in the mail! I'm in AU, so KJ Magnetics is a bit of a pricey choice, I have a local choice that isn't so bad, but still pricey! I've found a wholesale price place in hong kong but slow shipping. Expect magnet attempt #2 in about two weeks, gives me some time to make a mould for the magnet capsules.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

P.S. - I'm female. Not that it's important, but not a "he"! =)

Oh, I do apologize for that! I should have taken a look at your profile or something :-\

Checked out the site, I wish I had money for one of the big ones. Mmmmagnets. But! I'm in Australia and I think the shipping from there might be a bit obscene, but I'll see what the shipping quote is or check out an AU alternative.

I love magnets :P I could spend 1,000's of dollars on that website XD
