Instead of the typical epoxy resin "river," the creator opted for a miniature pond: pebbles, carp, water lilies, and lily pads are nestled between the wooden sections of a round tabletop. 
The resin was poured in layers from the bottom up. A thin initial coat covered the base and wood—a step the maker explained helps minimize air bubbles. Then came the pebbles and a slightly greenish layer of "water." Once it reached a sticky consistency, the fish and plants were set in place. 
Next came a soft blue tint, followed by a thin, clear topcoat. To complete the project, holes were drilled into the underside to attach the legs. The finished piece will soon take pride of place between two sofas.
