My Piranha Plant and its baby.

In creating the mother, I based my design on this question: Had it been based on a real living plant, what would it look like?

For the baby, I followed the exact same steps except I applied softer textures, brighter colors and a teething mouth.

I used clay, a strengthened wire skeleton and a special mix of acrylics to get the right appearance of flesh (particularly the inside of the mouth).

Excellent craftsmanship on these pieces, the larger one especially. Also, the contrast between ignorant bliss and sheer ferocity is a magnificent combination. Very well done!
