The tips of the tentacles were accidentally burnt when curing, but it worked out for the best because I think it completely makes the whole thing and gives it some extra visual interest.
I love it! It’s so adorable bordering on creepy, perfect for a curiosity cabinet. And I agree, the burnt ends (I thought you painted it that way) give it a lot of character. It all looks so moist. I hope the receiver loves it as well.
I did, too! My kid is aaaaalllll about marine biology- he would completely lose his mind (in a good way) if something like this showed up at our house. This is NOT in my wheelhouse and I’m truly stunned! How fabulous he is!!
