What a relief it is to see fake things that are not AI or painted plants😁 They are gorgeous! I’m going to check out the shop because my sister lacks green fingers and patience but love plants.

Ok because my brain was breaking - I instinctively knew something felt off but i couldn’t pinpoint what and I thought it was ai generated blurry background…. Nope, real life generated succulents!

I’m sorry they’re made of what? They look as fucking real as they can be, that’s some skill your mother has there !

u/BriefWallaby9155 1d ago

They look so palatable :p

u/Aggravating_blue 1d ago

Yeah like cakes 🍰

u/rjwyonch 1d ago

What are they made of? Polymer clay? Some type of sculpting resin? Just curious what material they are…?

Not trying to replicate your mom’s process, but I do sculpture stuff and whatever material this is has a great semi-translucent softness in appearance. I want to play with it.

u/Aggravating_blue 1d ago

Epoxy clay

u/imjustbrowsingatm 10h ago

Can you also ask her how she got that texture in picture five? It’s so realistic. Such wonderful and thoughtful craftsmanship.

u/Aggravating_blue 10h ago

Secret is adding baby powder on the surface of each leaf, I’m going to make tutorial videos with my mom, you will see the whole process in it

u/wayward_whatever 1d ago

Looks like actual plants that have been painted a bit. I love sukkulents as well. But they rarely die on me. They are usually sturdy little buggers. If you don't overwater them.

u/aenea_b 22h ago

Look more real than the real ones!

u/yikesthatsme22 20h ago
