A 12-foot Halloween skeleton becomes a giant living Chia Pet

A 12-foot (about 3.7-meter) Halloween skeleton has been transformed into an enormous Chia Pet, with chia seeds growing across its frame. It scales up the idea of a small novelty planter into a towering garden decoration.

Artist Ali Spagnola made the piece, dealing with structural challenges and adjusting growing conditions so the seeds could germinate across the skeleton. She finished it with decorative lights.
