Zittle the Seahorse

Zittle,

A seahorse so brittle. 

I am 

A curious seahorse

Of turquoise and the deep ocean blue

Skittering past

Gapping jaws

Of a killer whale.

From doing this project, I learned a lot about my creativity and I also learned a lot about the art of paper mâché and how fun it is to create and work with. As I look back on my project, I really struggled with creating the body of my creature because it seemed to never be the right shape or form that I wanted it to be. Everything after that was mostly easy because once you had the structure of your body down and you paper mâchéd your creature, you got to start decorating which was really exciting. Some of the successes of my creature would be making a body that was sturdy enough to withhold the weight of everything as well as the head of my creature because it is very detailed and stands out as well. In the end, I feel really good about the final product of my creature because I worked really hard on it and in most parts, it came out the way I wanted it too!
