some of the things that i think are the most succsesful parts of my sculpture would be the texture of the base which is supposed to be sand ands the color of the coral. i didnt think that it would be as bright and vivd as it came out and it looks like the real colors of coral. another thing that i thought worked was even though you cant see it there are little circles in the tentacles which gives it a rough texture which came out the way that i wanted it to look like. if i was to do something different the next time is i would make sure that there were no air bubbles in the clay so that it would not explode. this happened with the octopuss and i do not have a picture of it.
