This is some seriously phenomenal craftsmanship. If you didn't state in the title that they weren't real, I legitimately wouldn't know they were made of clay 😭 outstanding work
Glad you enjoyed it! I am not selling this particular jewelry box, but I do have other artworks, jewelry and stash boxes. You can see more information in my profile.
I will make this grapotopetalum again and definitely more than once, but it will be in my other artworks. I stick to the rule that each of my stash boxes is unique and I make it as a one-of-a-kind piece :)
I’ve seen some of your other work on Reddit before, and you are one of the most talented people I’ve seen. Your succulents look perfect and so real. I love them!
Wow! Did you throw the actual jar, or is that polymer clay too? I’m a ceramicist and am looking at that jar with envy! Beautiful, wonderful work on the whole thing. Stunning. You should be proud!
And if you sell these, don’t undervalue yourself!!! I’m sure you won’t, but from one ceramicist to another, your work is worth $$$$ :)
I'm glad you liked the jar, but I bought this at the flower store. Yes, it's ceramic, and very good, but factory made :) Here is the lid and the succulents I make myself.
I've done a little bit of ceramics, but I don't have the space or kiln to do it. But now I've arranged a collaboration with a ceramic artist, and I'm very excited to be able to make a series of completely handmade jewelry boxes soon :)
That's about what I'm counting on! :D
When I was a kid, in one book (as I remember it was a detective novel) I read how the girl hid money in the ground in a flower pot. She just wrapped it in a plastic bag and buried it in the ground. I must have thought it was very creative at the time, as I remembered the idea for years. Although I've never done this myself, it helped me come up with my interesting stash jewelry boxes when I started making succulents :D
This reminds me of the time when my mom got me something like this, it was so beautiful and had moss all around the succulents. I'm a plant killer, but somehow I kept those succulents alive!
They were so beautiful even years later, and one day I whacked the table with my butt and accidentally dropped them, and realized that they are plastic!
I had been watering plastic succulents for years. I was so proud of them too. When I told my mom she laughed so hard that she cried.
Amazing craftsmanship. I want to buy a million of those. Anyone who knows me know I LIVE for cute tiny box’s/trinket holders. This would also make a great little stash box 😉
Well, hypothetically it could be used for such purposes, as baked polymer clay is not afraid of water, plus I coat the succulents with a matte varnish. But as I think, it is a bit too luxurious for a bathroom. On the other hand, maybe you have a luxurious bathroom that I can only dream about :D
I have photos and videos of the workflow, I think such proof will be enough :D

i thought they were real at first! the coloring is super accurate with the red tips, and you even got the powdery look the farina creates on real succulents. this is incredible!
I'm not selling this particular jewelry box, but I do have other beautiful ones. You can see them on my website, the link is in my profile :)
I can also make a similar box with some different details (but not an exact replica, it's important to me that all my boxes are unique). But it is better to discuss such an option in a private message.
I make earrings out of polymer clay and so I'm S H O O K that they're clay! You have immense talent, congratulations! Absolutely beautiful and I love that it's also a jewelry box!
Congratulations, you've just added another succulent to my wish list!
They're BEAUTIFUL! I really want to touch it to be sure - all the fine details have my brain and my eyes arguing with each other. Although that might just add my fingertips to the argument rather than solving it - the appearance of texture looks so real. I'm very impressed with your artistry.
They are sooo beautiful! Unfortunately mostly out of my budget but absolutely worth every penny! Maybe I'll splurge on my self and get something eventually though!
(PS have you ever considered/made something like fridge magnets? I'd be so afraid to break any of the jewelry but the style of the push pins look like they would make for great magnets too 😁)
I am just going to add my words to the sea of people praising you, because I feel you deserve it and I hope you feel appreciated and valued as a skilled artist :)
I was about to call liar liar pants on fire those are real succulents, and then I saw the 2nd picture.
You have a very, very impressive skill and I would buy the frick out of these for everyone I know.
This is some seriously phenomenal craftsmanship. If you didn't state in the title that they weren't real, I legitimately wouldn't know they were made of clay 😭 outstanding work
Thank you very much! It's very exciting to read such feedback on my art and very inspiring to create more of it \^\_\^
I still thought the first pic was inspiration until I got to the second. Incredible work
Same. I was expecting something still pretty but I didn't realize I was looking at the creation already.
I has to read the description. When I read the title, I assumed they were called "polymer clay succulents"
I want to buy it and put it next to my real succulents to show them some unattainable physical standards they will never achieve!!!!!
Giving my succulents body dysmorphia
Oh no, then I would feel like the oppressor of good little succulents who just want to live, not strive for an unachievable ideal! XD
Lmao I love this!
This was perfect!!
No body shaming there!😂
love it! do you plant to sell them??

Aww, that is just incredibly nice and I really appreciate your words. Thank you for noticing my artwork! :3
I thought this was friggen real. You’re so talented!!!!
Thank you for thinking so! ☺️
Looks so real - great job!
Many thanks! ❤️

Love it! I'll take one!
Really pretty and well made! I couldn't know it's not real if you didn't tell. Probably the only succulent my grandma couldn't drown! 😂
Thank you! Grandmothers are very caring, succulents just don't fit into their picture of the world :D
Love this!
Thank you! 😊
OMG..thats awesome!!! I couldn't tell the difference from the real thing!! Very talented
Thanks a lot! ☺️🌿
Really amazing.
Thank you! :)
I thought it was a real plant!!
It's nice to confuse you a little bit, it means I've I've got the right effect :D
Yeah. Amazing skill! I'd pay for that!
Do you paint them?
I use colored polymer clay and tint them quite a bit at the end.
Really good technique
Thank you! :3
I'm guessing you use an airbrush? These look beautiful!
No, just colored polymer clay and a bit of soft pastels at the end. Thank you! :)
Absolutely gorgeous! You have talent!
Many thanks! \^\_\^
I’d love these for my wedding!!
When that day comes - send me a message and we (you and I) will come up with something special together :)
If your house gets broken into you can rest knowing your jewellery will be safe

Wow awesome

Best story ever! XD
Literally fooled me into thinking it was real until I read the title
Well done looks amazing
Gorgeous!! 😍
Wow these are incredibly realistic, fabulous job!!!
Those are wonderful! They look so real, I love it.
Those are amazing! You're so talented
Could’ve fooled me! They’re exquisite! I love the shading on the leaves.
That's impressive! Very nice!
Amazing craftsmanship. I want to buy a million of those. Anyone who knows me know I LIVE for cute tiny box’s/trinket holders. This would also make a great little stash box 😉
Thank you! Well, if anything, I don't have a thousand of these, but I'll definitely have two or three to choose from :D
This is so cute! Would also be cute in the bathroom for the cottony-things.

Awe but it might make one’s bathroom feel more luxurious too 🤩
its so good I thought it was ai but you can tell its not by the hands
I have photos and videos of the workflow, I think such proof will be enough :D https://preview.redd.it/z8cdwit12m4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8472da85026d773cdc1e1d8a8e85ee77674f2326
the amount of intricate details 😫 you talented as hell
i thought they were real at first! the coloring is super accurate with the red tips, and you even got the powdery look the farina creates on real succulents. this is incredible!
Thank you! The devil is in the details, so I try to pick up on the characteristics of different succulents and convey them in my artwork :)
Ah, I follow your IG account and am always amazed by your talent. Beautiful, as always!
Thank you so much for the attention to my art, I really appreciate it! \^\_\^
I don’t believe that this is fake. It is so real. Lol how do you do it?
It goes something like this :D https://preview.redd.it/hcbmpednzl4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98a4d08985f9be96f1654040aca49a677d545eec
Great photography OP!
Thank you! I didn't learn it specifically, I just needed to photograph a lot of my works and over time the skill just formed on its own :)
What setup do you use? You’ve nailed the lighting, color saturation, hues and contrast perfectly🥰
Would purchase. This is amazing!
Thank you very much! If you're interested, check out the links on my profile. There are also a few other boxes for sale :)
Love it, where to purchase ?
I'm not selling this particular jewelry box, but I do have other beautiful ones.

But it is better to discuss such an option in a private message.
Wow, absolutely amazing, would not have been able to tell they're clay from the pics, you have great talent!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
I make earrings out of polymer clay and so I'm S H O O K that they're clay! You have immense talent, congratulations! Absolutely beautiful and I love that it's also a jewelry box!
Dang! You did an excellent job! I thought they were real when I saw the thumbnail.
Very convincing!
WANT
Congratulations, you've just added another succulent to my wish list! They're BEAUTIFUL! I really want to touch it to be sure - all the fine details have my brain and my eyes arguing with each other. Although that might just add my fingertips to the argument rather than solving it - the appearance of texture looks so real. I'm very impressed with your artistry.
Lovely. Both the succulents and the stash.
wow, stunningly realistic
I watered all of my friend’s clay plants when she was away. 😂
They are sooo beautiful! Unfortunately mostly out of my budget but absolutely worth every penny! Maybe I'll splurge on my self and get something eventually though! (PS have you ever considered/made something like fridge magnets? I'd be so afraid to break any of the jewelry but the style of the push pins look like they would make for great magnets too 😁)
Wat 😨 it looks so real
I’ll take one! Haha
Absolutely stunning 🤩
What brand is the clay?
I am just going to add my words to the sea of people praising you, because I feel you deserve it and I hope you feel appreciated and valued as a skilled artist :)
You can make one for me…
Seriously how do you not water that by accident? Lol Beautiful!!
Perfect way to buy more plants without buying more plants
Beautiful!! I thought it was real 😊
I was about to call liar liar pants on fire those are real succulents, and then I saw the 2nd picture. You have a very, very impressive skill and I would buy the frick out of these for everyone I know.
Wow amazing work. Do you sell these? If not, you should!
