Peekaboo Pods: Part 2

As you know, me and my black thumb have been working on 28 Peekaboo mini plants. Well, 27 (I spoke too soon when I said I had enough to finish them all in my last post).

Yesterday was spent securing the styrofoam bases and stems to the pots using newspaper strip mache.

Once that dried and all the items were stable, I applied toilet paper mache to the sections of wire that were wrapped around the stem. I didn't want them jostling position when I got to the more delicate task of creating the foliage.

A few hours later, everything was dry and secure.

I only got 3 plants started before I'd had enough for the day.

I never should've started using Sculpey. I've spoiled myself with the quick results, drying times and little mess. Of course, Sculpey cannot produce the texture I'll achieve with this technique and medium. And what I lose in time with mache I make up for in cost.

Going to throw myself at it again today, and see if I can make a dent in the remaining 24.
