The details
The colouring of the sea is made up of French knots are they are bubble like in shape. bobbin pom pops make up the jellyfishes tail sparse enough to let the aquarium tones shine through. The corals structure is built using clear hot glue as it adds a sold hard texture.
The finer details
the response from people when exploring the African ocean has been so heart warming. from phrases such as “that’s a perfect nightlight” to “I would buy that”.
