To shape the tentacles I put wire inside and bent them in different ways. Then we made a flour mixture and layered strips of newspaper covered in it onto the base. Then using the Viva towels to add more texture. Then I painted the piece. My octopus is successful because it looks like an octopus. It has the small details and Overall a good coverage of paper. The shape was quite difficult especially painting small crevices. covering all parts in paper mache evenly was a struggle with the inside of the tentacles. Also being gentle when paint or paper mache was drying may have prevented the areas from cracking. I'm not sure if that would have helped or if creating a sturdier base was have prevented it.
