= My Oaxacan Animal = I picked a sea turtle because I loved sea turtles ever since I was a little girl. They are a graceful animal that I enjoy to see!

I had a couple problems when I was making the fins. I had a hard time making the fins look similar. I fixed the fin problem by laying one on top of the other one and cutting it so that it looked sort of like the other one. I also had to go over the fins with paper mashay to hold the fins in place because they were wiggly. I had to make a decision on what colors I was going to use I wanted to use one color but it wouldn’t look good with the other color. So, I decided to use them on the turtle but not by each other. I also had to decide whether I was going to make a flower or a sun on the back and I decided that I was going to make a flower instead of the sun.

Yes, I am definitely happy with my turtle. I am happy with my animal because it turned out just the way I wanted it to. I am proud of my animal because I think it is unique and special. I love the way my turtle is!
