This is a replica of Audrey II, the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. The previous Audrey II, done as a gift to someone dear to me, broke into a million pieces. So I just went and made another one for her. Which would kind of make this Audrey... IV :)

This one took some time. If I was to do this again, I figured, I might as well make it much better than the other. During the process of making it, while going through a bike trail looking for reference leaves, I fell off my bike and almost broke my right hand. For a week and a half I could only stare in frustration at a few clumps of clay slightly resembling Audrey II.

The first one was based off of sketches done while watching the movie. Since this one was sculpted in front of a TV showing the very first shot of the plant in the movie, the end result was much more faithful than my previous attempt.

In that first scene with the plant, Audrey II is in a Maxwell House coffee can from the 50's (the period the movie is set in). Out of curiosity I went on Ebay, wondering if there might be any out there and what crazy prices they could go for. For $6 and shipping, I nailed one.

Here's the link to the original offering: [link]

Draco: So Matt, if your a real master thief, try to get to the vase without tripping any alarms. *points*
Me: No problem. *swiftly jumps from wall to wall, snatches vase within 10 seconds*
Jinsoku:..... *looks at Draco* You owe me 1000 yen.

After forming a wire skeleton, I sculpted it out of clay, baked it and painted it.
