As I continue with my plan to release five Halloween-themed spooky projects for each weekend in October, this week, I present Mushnik’s Flower Shop from ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’
Construction was very straightforward, following the techniques/materials used for past projects; sheet styrene, kit parts, and 3D printed details. The difference with this particular project was using pistachio shells as Audrey 2’s flytrap face and polymer clay for tentacles. This is my first time using polymer clay, and I’m not sure if I can achieve and scale details utilizing the material as an alternative to 3D printing. Still, it is better/quicker for creating an organic object and was appropriate for the application I had in mind.
I’m thrilled with this bit of structure, and it makes me smile; I’ve always loved the movie, and I’m happy to have a hidden retro-horror detail on my layout.
