Wow!!! Wonderful Stephanie. Thanks for sharing❤️

[@Jess-dc9ux]

Your pitcher plants were much needed after a very troubling week in the US. As always, thanks for your inspiring artwork!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Hang in there, it seems your people are fighting against Trump's insanity and it partly works. The muslim bans has been rejected by a court and the scientists can talk publicly again as well. That's always something.

[@claygirl6133]

I love these plants so beautiful!! I found a load of different ones last year but didn't get to try them. Glad you did them and they came out good.

[@cindycady2098]

Love your point of view. I too struggle with what I believe in my heart is right, and what is feasible and comfortable in my life. All we can do, is the best we can do. Be mindful, and compassionate, and remember that many small things, add up to very big things, if we all do it. Thank you for your beautiful videos. I'm so glad I found, and follow you on instagram😊

[@yourfavloner3225]

Glad to know that you're working on the Indonesian deforestation, big love from borneo 😘

[@stephanie.kilgast]

this artwork is done by now, although I might come back to that topic

[@MannEMar]

These turned out great!!

[@j-play4325]

It looks like a actuall pitcher plant very cool

[@MaliqIbrahim-1306]

They look cute!!

[@MaliqIbrahim-1306]

And i live in Indonesia, since this was 4 yrs ago, i don't think i have to give any info

[@drezdogge]

you always make it look so easy

[@jakemoore3075]

I really enjoyed watching this - interesting stuff! 😄 Thanks for posting! 👍

[@stephanie.kilgast]

you're welcome!

Es preciosa, mil gracias por enseñarnos. Un saludo desde España

[@robineason-ryan2336]

Hi, your work is beautiful, I want to create items to place outside in my garden. Can you please show what to do to keep the items safe for use outside? Thank you

[@leetzannaroyalla9068]

Good job!

[@debdonner9404]

Brilliant! Gotta admit, it's more fun to watch than to actually try this! My skills are just awful!

[@mayrakopjansen2814]

WoW beautiful

[@megaroo6110]

There are so many beautiful orchids from Indonesia, lady slippers are quite unique , but there are so many orchids from that part of the world that are gorgeous.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes, many pointed that out, and it would seem that many orchids are endangered or even extinct.

[@megaroo6110]

Stephanie Kilgast // PetitPlat they are such amazing flowers, it's so interesting how many of them have evolved symbiotic relationships with insects and other animals. Like the orchid that looks like a female bee to attract a male bee which tries to mate with the orchid and in the process picks up pollen then goes to another orchid and repeats the process thus pollinating the plant. Or the one that has a very long stem at the bottom of the flower so only a certain moth with a long tongue can drink nectar from it. I think they are just fascinating.

[@gabriellakhan1962]

Hey I love your art work and I recommend orchid hope you have a great day

[@TristanaMontgomery]

It's very beautifull ^^

[@mastersadvocate]

Wow, Stephanie, your miniature pitcher plant nepenthes is amazing! I just love watching you work on polymer clay! As I was watching you put that clear liquid into the pitcher plant, I wondered if a clear glue would work as well. What do you think? It is difficult to get liquid polymer clay where I live. Michael's doesn't carry that product.

[@sushiplushietm4932]

sooo cool! 😄

[@SidinsCorner]

*This is so good* _This is so good_

[@icecreamprincess000]

hey, I love your plant and animals tutorials :) You're often talking about 'bigger art projects'. Is there anywhere where we could have a look at the whole thing?

[@joannecarroll5504]

another great job.

[@estherschmidt2805]

gorgeous work!!! beautiful flowers!

[@sonjachristoph7141]

einfach geil👌😍

[@satishverma-no2fs]

veary nice

[@christineclements6384]

You inspired me

[@NinjaTofu0]

Wonderful video! I visited Java back in October and definitely saw a lot of ferns of all types. They also use the young fern leaves to make a delicious salad! You could of course make a white phalaenopsis. And if you're up for a challenge you could try the wild Javanese edelweiss, which is endangered because it's being picked and sold to tourists :(

[@stephanie.kilgast]

thank you! will check out ferns! Orchids and javanese edelweiss I put on my list as well, they're both endangered.

[@beccagreen5793]

Yes Amorphophallus titanum please, you would make it fantastic!!! And I'm not sure if this is in Indonesia but the Nepenthes bicalcarata, which is one of my favourites. 🌱

[@stephanie.kilgast]

the amorphophallus titanum is planned, as for the nepenthes bicalcarata, it's another pitcher plant, so I might do it but not record it. And thank you!

[@Deadlable]

I'm not sure if you are still taking suggestions for plant ideas, and I'm not sure what you've already don't but I think then Nepenthes Hamata, Aristolochia Grandiflora, or the Titan Arum.

[@GreenEnvyDesigns]

Please show us the finished arteork when your done! You make it look so easy haha :) love pitcherplants

[@gabumonboys]

Some Lichens would be nice to see. I'm trying my hand at growing them.

[@pandamusic608]

U r very smart

[@mipecas0512]

Muy lindo.. Pero agota mucho ver el video por la cámara rápida..

[@tanvimaurya3965]

❤

[@LittleRedMunchkin]

What about an amorphophallus titanum(the largest corpse flower) to match your rafflesia?

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes! on my list! it's the only plant on my list actually. I need more plants, and I find it quite difficult to find some. "cool" animals like tigers and orangutans are those who pop up all the time, I want to know more about birds, plants and possibly bugs. And thanks!

[@TiffaniLD]

Amorphophallus titanum or Rafflesia arnoldii. They are both corpse flowers and pretty cool. On a less stinky note, Wijayakusuma flower, also know as Moon Flower, are a very pretty little flower.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

I've sculpted Tafflesia arnoldii already. Thanks for the other suggestions.

[@reapersyt3780]

I thank it is hard but it is super eazy

[@w0mblemania]

This is excellent. Thank you for sharing this with us. Question: can a vegan eat a pitcher plant?

[@j-play4325]

No that just doesn't work, here's why the secret of a carnivorous plants is like you having a salad that's trying to eat you I think of it a sweet revenge, by the way "FEED ME, seymour."

[@brudokutty9064]

what r the tools u r using

[@stephanie.kilgast]

these kzbin.info/www/bejne/paLTmWx3apujaZo

[@sohinighosh8799]

I have a question. I am just learning about using polymer clay. Do you have to bake everything made of polymer clay?

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes

[@junajam]

wow

[@junajam]

ya

[@junajam]

mm

[@junajam]

omg

[@rainbowdarkcreations1499]

Amorphophallus titanum would be a good one

[@stephanie.kilgast]

planned! :)

[@gabumonboys]

Staghorn or Elkhorn ferns would be cool to see. Maybe try making English ivy or something mechanical?

[@stephanie.kilgast]

staghorn fern is a great idea, english ivy isn't really native to Indonesia. What do you mean by "something mechanical" and thanks!

[@gabumonboys]

Sorry I didn't watch the video all the way through when I wrote this, so the other things were just simple suggestions. By mechanical, I like to think of the dwarven spheres from Skyrim or the Chronosphere from The new Alice in wonderland movie. Probably hard to make in clay though.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Ah yes, I see. Not fitting with the theme of that particular artwork. However it would be interesting for others. Thanks!

[@syugarpufffff6357]

Have you come to Indonesia? I'm from Indonesia

[@syugarpufffff6357]

the Pitcher plant is wild on my island, Borneo

[@stephanie.kilgast]

no never, I have taken an interest in the fauna and flora of Indonesia because I'm currently working on a artwork about the Indonesian Deforestation. Such beautiful species, I hope your country will manage to stop this deforestation before it's too late.

[@syugarpufffff6357]

Yeah, I hope that so. This plants are so beautiful and edible. Many people on my region eat this plant, so we're not eating that too much to save this species

[@captainhoratiobungleiii7147]

If you are doing birds, then Javan green magpie (Cissa thalassina) and Sumatran Laughingthrush (Garrulax bicolor) would be good to watch.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

thank you so much! those two are perfect! Endangered as well, but what isn't these days?

[@captainhoratiobungleiii7147]

Super :) Glad I could help! I know, it's very depressing, but keep up the good work. It's important to keep the message out there!

[@medicwaffles]

looks like Ventricosa

[@YeahBoi99966]

Can you make venus fly trap

[@megaroo6110]

I always have trouble wrapping clay around wire. It always slips around or falls off 😬

[@stephanie.kilgast]

the twist helps, or (what I usually do) wrap it in paper tape (the one used for paint) but it adds thickness, so it's not working for all projects. Or you can use another clay that is more sticky, like BeeSputty for instance, although it's a little more fragile than polymer clay. (at least more fragile than fimo or cernit which are arguably extremely strong) that being said if you don't "play" with the finished objects, it should be of no issue.

[@megaroo6110]

Stephanie Kilgast // PetitPlat Thank you for the tips, I greatly appreciate it. I just got some BeesPutty a couple weeks ago, I've been wanting to try it out.

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

Oriental Orchids ?

[@aimeegilbert4095]

Idk if u reply or if my suggestion is helpful in the slightest but maybe Venus fly traps I love Venus flytrap and I'd love to c u make one but I'm not sure if it's relevant to your artwork but I thought I'd mention it :)

[@stephanie.kilgast]

I have finished this particular artwork, but venus flytrap is actually on my sculpting list. So might to a video about it too at some point.

[@leonwilliams1841]

A really interesting Indonesian plant you could do is the Amorphophallus titanum.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

made it :) and uploaded the video today as well.

[@B8catcher]

do a Venus flytrap

[@meenasriram1939]

Eucalyptus deglupta do this

[@akaballechoes]

Beautiful .. Also i know it doesn't make much sense but 'GAUGE' is pronounced 'GAYDGE' (gage) ;)

[@mexicancartel4333]

😱😱😱😱

[@gman3664]

Venus flytrap

[@scarlettelsner3960]

C´est chouette

[@stephanie.kilgast]

:)

[@Jessi2222]

In terms of suggestions why not try your hand at making a Maleo or a Tarsius Tarsier? They are animals not plants but they're only found in Indonesia so I thought it would be worth a shot!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

thank you! actually on my list as well :)

[@colkarama857]

I saw these on planet earth documentary. Spiders like to live with them because the plant captures the insects and the spider steals them before they get digested. Mutual relationship between them.

[@patriciastrong8813]

Keep the camera pointing to the demo.

[@christacoffen7871]

Beautiful PLANT, BUT it is NOT an actual pitcher plant. I'm from Newfoundland, and it's our Province's plant..and they grow every where, even in my yard! And that is not an actual pitcher.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

Newfoundland's province's plant is a pitcher plant. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/provincial-territorial-symbols-canada/newfoundland-and-labrador.html#a6
