Poor Little Broken Octopus to Wall Art

2 Materials
This metal octopus had fallen and two of it's tentacles had broken. I tried using many different types of glue to simply put them back on. I decided to put it on a piece of wood that I painted. I applied glue sparingly to the back of the octopus to glue in onto the wood. Within minutes, it began making a chemical reaction. I was so amused by this that I decided the octopus had "inked himself" and just kept adding more glue until the mess you see here was created.
Then when the glue was dried, I painted it all inky black.
Lastly, I free hand painted blue waves all around the octopus and added dots of blue to it's eyes for a bit of contrast.
I saved my little octopus from the trash pile.

AHA! Gorilla polyurethane expanding glue. I hate gorilla glue. But you found a great use for it. Very cool.
