Practicum Little Shop of Horrors

As promised, pictures of my work with the theatre company. These are headdresses of the four characters that were eaten by the plant and know are part of the plant.

This is underlay for carpeting that was used to stuff the larger leaves. Cutting and hand-sewing with this material was a challenge for me, but I got it done. (0u0)

These are all the piece used.

Middle leaves I sewn up and add wire around the edges.

Each of these leaves has a different pattern for one and other.

Larger leaves fabric was attach with fabric glue on.
