3-D Squid
This is the beginning of what my 3-D Squid looked like! I gathered various different materials, ones that I wouldn't have thought about using before, to create this creature. My materials included bubble wrap, a styrofoam cone for the head, blue streamers, glue, ducktape, and googly-eyes, which I didn't end up using. After some time, I came up with my own squid!
