I make a lot of crafts. In fact, as I've been posting a new project just about every week for the past decade, that means I've shared with you somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 crafts. However, as you may guess, not every craft I make ends up on the blog. Some are abject failures, but others are kind of good, but with issues. Audrey Jr. falls into the latter category.
I have a couple of zombie garden gnomes that Brian's mom got me for Christmas ages ago. They're pretty neat, but I usually just stick them by my doorstep because I'm not sure what else to do with them. Last year, I decided to give them a couple of creepy plants to watch over.
I made a couple of little plants reminiscent of Audrey Jr. from Little Shop of Horrors. I used clay to shape heads, toothpicks for teeth for one of them, and stems from artificial flowers for stalks.
They came out looking okay, but the big issue is that they're lacking in structural integrity. The clay heads are pretty heavy and cause them to lean. Also, they don't have any sort of base. Brian and I just buried them as deep as we could and it kind of worked? Which is fine for my personal use, but not really something I'd feel comfortable writing a tutorial on.
So there you have it, one of the many crafts that I've made that hasn't appeared on this blog before. It's certainly one of the nicer ones, and I thought it was still worth showing, even if I didn't think it merited a tutorial, since it has some issues. Would you like to see more of these unblogged crafts in the future? Let me know in the comments.
