My little bottlecap Koi, probably a Kohaku. I don't know all the colour pattern names of them exactly. But this is awesome and cute for sure.

I really get the feeling, that the smaller the project the more fun I have making it
I hope one day I can get as small and precise as your figures^^

I can confirm the fun fact. Bigger figurines however have their own charm. It's quite different to work on a Figurine on a kork or on a figurine big enough that the distance between tail and ground is so high that the small one can stand there.
And the rest is practice.

One more question: what is that water made of? Glue?

The wate isn't glue. It's a layer of Fimo with a coat of "Fimo Liquid". The package says it turns transparent after baking, but that is true only if the layer is really thin. I once tried to turn it into water in a pond and I was very disapionted with the outcome. I am actually lookig for a clear resin for some "water projects" but I can't decide on a brand. Also they seem pretty expensive:/ Do you have any expirience with clear resin?

That's amazing! I love the koi fish.  Did you make it with clay?

Yes, I made this with Fimo. The water is a thin layer of clay with a Fimo Liquid coat on top^^
