He is made entirely from minky for a very soft and high quality look. His leaf has fusable interfacing and top-stitched veins to both look more realistic and better hold the leaf shape, and his eyes are sculpted from polymer clay and finished with a shiny clear coat to appear more realistic and lively. His stem has a wire armature (meticulously wrapped in yarn and then sleeved by fleece underneath the top layer of minky) so that it stands tall and sturdy.
