Overall I really like how this project turned out, I think it came out pretty much how i pictured it in my head before I started. When I first considered using aluminium foil I really liked the aspect of the reflectiveness that it could be but also how easy it was to work with. i first made a general body shape with newspaper and tape to then cover it with tin foil. I found that hot glue was the best way to glue it down, I didn't like how thick it could be stuck at, but I like how quick it was to harden and that I could easily take it off if I messed up. This came in handy when I was doing the mouth because I messed up a few times and i didn't have time to hold the teeth in place while I waited for it to dry. The only thing that I didn't necessarily like how it turned out was that when I pictured this project I wanted the tin foil to be more reflected and flat. The longer I worked on the project, the more crinkly it got and lost its reflectiveness that i wanted. The tinfoil also allowed me to draw on it. i used this ability for creating the darkness of the mouth and adding the details of the eyes and gills. I felt that i could have gone bigger with the project, but for how it turned out I really like it.
