Creating the ornament for Upper Geyser Basin took some extra effort.
When we saw Old Faithful, I couldn't believe how much water went up into the air. But what also surprised me was the texture of the gushing water. There were strong currents, but there were also soft misty areas.
Getting both of those textures on the ornament required two very different techniques.
This ornament is available to purchase at the gift shops in Upper Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park.
