Thread: "Peek-a-boo Plant"

Tweet

My first prop of the year (though it was started last winter and has sat in my office unpainted ever since). Ironically, it's not even for this year's decorations; it's a gift for a friend who liked my carnivorous plant last year and asked me to make him some sort of plant creature of his very own. "Peek-a-boo Plant" was painted today. She's made out of styrofoam balls, bathroom tissue paper mache, acrylic paint, a stick, some moss and an old pot.




And finally, for you guys that like to get real close up to the detail...

Wow! Awesome job! I'll definitely have to add this to my must-have list! Great paint job as well!

That looks amazing! I want one, I want one!

Wow, lookin' good. I need a plant like that in my garden.

Creepy and beautiful in a weird way....Great work.

Real creepy looking. I Love it!!
I can see why you are an artist. Great work!

The TOTers have to walk past my gardens to get to the door and something like this would look great. I'm thinking just large eyes on a stick growing out of my ornamental grasses. I also have a cheap motion activated box that growls and shakes the plant...could mean lots of screams
Neat idea and love your plant!

Thanks everyone

The good thing about it is it doesn't need watering, doesn't care how much sun it gets, and the critters aren't interested in eating it. Heck, you don't even have to weed around it. Truly a low maintenance plant.

WOW!! What an original I really like that alot GF. How big was your largest eye just trying to get a scale on the size of it.

wow this is very original , great idea , i was looking for a prop man eating plant last year for our mad lab and never found one .....how did you make that ? (nevermind i just answered that question as i just visited your web site) very neat props , thanks for sharing the how too there

again nice work
