my hand holding a snail in Amber. Did you ever. I thought soft tissue didn't survive this process, well there is always a first time. (5 years and 3342 days ago)

Unique idea but try to blend the color of the source chalk board with the green chalkboard you used. You should probably just used magic eraser for the outside or maybe even magic wand and drag chalk outline to the found classroom source. Also, more than one light source should leave multiple shadows but probably not so hard.
I hope, for you, that you'll be as successful as the little boy with your entry 
Idea has potential ** snail looks more on the amber than in -- try some additional layers of the amber at varying blending modes and opacities or fill levels You should be able to find one that "sinks" the snail into the amber
Hi Alan thanks for the suggestion - I was trying to keep the transparency going so the hand still shows through but you know what I did forget - the snail should have a shadow.
done
You can alway try puttting a layer of the hand over the top, masking out parts that you don't like with a layer mask, then reducing the opacity ... that can sometime give the appearance of seeing something "through" when you are losing it ...hope that makes sense???
Nice idea ... very interesting work and concept.
Howdie stranger!
