Aloe Sculpture
From the Designer: "Art is so much to to make, and sometimes it can can so many different forms. Today it is a sculpture to look like an aloe plant, but a glitter and shiny one = perfect for indoors and one that you do not have to water! I build the base of the aloe plant with rigid wrap, mesh, and a paper mache. Once that all set, I added various layers of Plaid Colorshift paint and Glitterific paints to give the aloe cool effect."
