Making a small pond

I have a web article discussing the construction of a small run off pond

Looks fantastic! How did you get the edges to look so good? Most times the acrylic water crawls up the side and looks like, well, acrylic (or maybe the tide going out...)

Yours looks so much more convincing, great job!

I have depicted the water level as receding. The shorline is modeled as wet mud. The acrylic crawling up makes the shorline realistic. I painted the wet mud with the acrylic. Like tide going out. By making the shoreline wet and I guess I have taken advantage of the disadvantage. Water always laps the shoreline so there is a wet border.
