I'm not sure what type of squid tha is, but damnedest thing I've ever seen made. But, as you point out, seems it wouldn't last long! Thanks for sharing Dave.

I thought it looked amazing. I'm gonna give it a shot maybe this weekend since it'll be so cold. I know that it's not very practical as far as its longevity is concerned but looks fun to make.
It is amazing!
Some sortof origami with a straw LOL
They make it look easy, but I don't have near enough manual dexterity to do that. I flunked cutting out paper hearts for Valentine's back in kiddie school and never got any better. Heck, I have trouble putting the real thing on a hook without mangling it.
It would make a cool decoration for your desk at work. The dude is an artist but I strongly think if he brought that to the pier, he would quickly change over to a jig or gotcha. Just one missed hookup/pass by a good spanish and....poof! 30 minutes of craftsmanship down the drain. Very cool video though, I enjoyed it.
Here is the best way to create shrimp, and it is fun for them too!

I found a video, but I think it is considered shrimp porn, so I can't post it :whip
That video should be accompanied by a warning saying that it's harder than it looks! Didn't have any clear straws so I tried a white one. Not nearly as good as the one in the video but not too bad for me.
Dave, that is a hell of a good job of scherenschnitte ! I know it is not paper ,but I think it qualifies . Thanks for sharing .
Dang good job for your first attempt I take it? It looks good in white.
Very good, Dave, how long did it take you to do it?Quote:

Thank you. Had to look up 'scherenschnitte' because I was about to say, "God bless you".Quote:
