Jonni has been such an inspiration. This is my 2nd paper mache sculpture and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
In the process, I did discover that using a glue gun to make the suction cups on the bottom of the tentacles was the most efficient and looked about as good as I had hoped. I did go over them a second time to make them more pronounced.
I love painting and creating the octopus because they can be so diverse in color and shape.
I used resin balls I had made from a ball shaped resin mold that I had.
Yes, Deanna, great Octopus!! Good job
Great octopus, Deanna! And I really like your idea of sculpting the suction cups with hot glue. It really worked – thanks for showing him to us. 🙂
