Description

Baby Groot made with two parts epoxy putty, painted with bitumen and mineral solvent and embellished with plastic mini leaves.

Instructions

    Not really a tutorial, more like how i made it, sorry. I used 2 parts epoxy putty, plastic mini leaves, pieces of wire, bitumen and mineral solvent, moss, mini vase, super glue. - For the base, I made a skinny and long cone, let it dry slightly and give it a little twist. Put a piece of wire to hold the little head. I made some marks on the trunk.

    - I made the little arms and put wire to fix. Used super glue too to secure in the position I wanted and started doing the vines with twisted rolls of dough. - I did the face, with some shallow marks, cut the lips and pressed a pen to make the eyes. Then I made mini twisted cones and started to add through the head toward the edges. I mounted the head using the piece of wire and super glue.

    - Once dry, I painted the piece with wax bitumen diluted with mineral spirits and put sprigs of plastic glued here and there. Now, just put in a mini vase, giving the finish with dry moss. I hope you are capable of understand my english, please excuse the errors.
