I cast a tomato in table top epoxy. It is in my will and will go to possible kids or my brother. It will then be an heirloom tomato.
It was an epoxy encased hedgehog that sat on a mantleshelf. Unbeknownst the owners it was slowly rotting and the gas pressure was building inside the block of resin. Eventually the pressure got too much and the resin block exploded, covering the room in bits of hedgehog and resin.
look for resin casting or similar
