Tourists from Planet Plant, Two-Headed Ted
Some hot summer a few minutes into the future, a family of tiny aliens that resemble both humans and succulent plants travel to Earth with the intention of seeing the sights and visiting some tourist traps. I designed and needle-felted all the members of this family for one of my senior projects (under the mentorship of Rudy Gutierrez). My intention was to create a durable art toy that all ages and genders could enjoy.
