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

Okay! First photos of 'Prototype 1'.

I give it 5/10 points. They look awesome, they're nice and lightweight (78gm/2.75oz) but the initial magnets I tried (I went for whatever I could find locally, I have better ones on order but wont have them for two weeks) were too small and while they'll stay up, they don't hold any weight.

But I'm pleased none the less and this set could easily be siliconed onto the wall of a tank. =)

I made a few mistakes though, too much expending foam inside, and poured the final resin onto the foam before it was 100% cured. Next time I'll have to give it a bit more time to cure. =)

Question:

1. Do you think it's worth working to get the magnet system right, or should I just make them for siliconing onto tanks? I figured being able to remove them was better for cleaning.

2. Should I make them lighter white? or darker brown??
