Hello all. So, I decided I wanted to make a carnivorous plant to sit on my desk. Initially it was going to be a Piranha Plant from the Mario series, but as I was making it people kept saying, “You’re making a Little Shop of Horrors plant!” So I caved to public opinion and gave it a greener paint job.
Main ‘body’ is a polystyrene egg covered in wall filler with a wedge cut out to achieve the open mouth.
Teeth are carved plasticard. I based the look on the teeth of the great white shark.
Tongue and gums are modelling putty.
I wasted a lot of time and effort attempting to sculpt and cast leaves. In the end I gave up and bought fake leaves for the hobby shop. The base is just a plant pot with florists foam in it supporting everything.
