That looks great! I really enjoyed the photo diary of how it was made. I'm currently helping my husband to build an alien in a similar way, it's a lot of fun! Mind you, that chicken wire is hard on your fingers.
Thanks for sharing.

Love it!! looks like it was a fun project. Now what are you going to do with it?!
Peter.

Certainly was fun, though very time consuming...

It is for the EEE show, children can be caught and photographed, it is to attract more visitors

Pim

Congratulations !!!!
The best idea I have seen this year !

Simply fantastic! :-)

bravo, bravo great job!

Excellent!

In an Orchid Garden in Borneo I saw rubbish bins shaped like Nep pitchers, but they were nothing like as good as this and I doubt they'd have thanked me for trying to fit anyone inside one!

I've seen it for real yesterday, it's done very well.

As a cephalotus admirer, i would have to congratulate those involved in making it. It's a real masterpiece. Beautiful shape and colours.
One constructive criticism there though, the teeth are all pushed inwards making it a very friendly and harmless pitcher.

Thanks for the compliments.
On the teeth we had to make concessions, as we didn't want to have 'bleeding' kids or kids having eye injuries ....
An other concession we had to make is to omit the collar inside; less work, but also a better fit to be able to stick your head trough ...

It was the first time that we did this kind of thing, but it turned out better than I expected. It was fun, but I don't know if there will be a next project, as it very time consuming! Luckily it will take some time before the EEE comes to the Netherlands again
Pim.

Wow thats cool
Bye for now julian

I LOVE this. Just love this! Do you have a background in arts or crafts? It's very inspiting and I may need to make one for myself :)
Thank you for sharing! Wish I could see it in person and have a photograph taken with it! Job very well done!

Well great Cephalotus...a real giant.
Bute there are a few ugly insects I think.
