"Blowfish" Sculpture

The idea of creating a blowfish sculpture came from one I saw in Hawaii a year ago.

It was hanging on a balcony - leaving me to wonder if it was a lamp or simply an ornament.

I really had to try to make one!









I needed some photo references... Found one in our old toy box. Not sure how realistic it looks!












So I went to the internet to hunt for a few more images. (Not sure how real-looking they are either - they all look like cartoon characters!)

In my research, I discovered they are also called puffer fish or toad fish.








Here's my little clay one (in progress...) It looks like a cartoon character, too!
