I am actually quite surprised how fast I made my SRII. All of my projects this year have been taking super long, but this one only took like a couple days.
One of the biggest struggles I had with this project was drying the mandrake root in the way that I wanted it to dry. It kept cracking without support. SO, I used like 10 sponges and one of Mrs. Lopez's example pots (which I washed afterwards) to hold the root while it was drying.
