Finial Sculpture of Carl the whale

Paper, Tape, Hot Glue, Duck Tape, T-Shirt, Can’s, Paint Sample Card A Rock

The main idea that I had was to use stuff from around my house that I could use to cover the body and I thought of a whale because there were a lot of blue things that I can find at my house and it was also something I haven't done before because all I have been doing was cows, so I thought making a whale would be a nice change.


First I had to think of a couple of ideas that I possibly wanted to build which were a hedgehog, a bald eagle, and a whale and I obviously went with the whale. Then I needed to figure out what I wanted to use for materials and how the heck I was supposed to shape balled pieces of paper and tape into a whale body form. Finally, I taped and hot glued all the materials that I found from my house onto the body but then found out that the whale couldn't stand on its own so I had to find a flat rock that would support the body and make it stand on its own.
