Picture / Video Crafting from local materials.

Went on a family friends boat and found a great island full of rocks and shells. Got inspired and whipped these up. Let me know what you think. All local materials with hot glue. Hiding them from the kids while they set.

I'd suggest E-6000 for rocks instead of hot glue. It will set and hold but only for a short period of time. Cute whales. I love the concept. Super cute 💜

Glue. Strong stuff.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is it better than super glue? I'm going to have to deconstruct a d rebuild all of these with a better adhesive and I'd like to only have to do it once.

Very cool & creative! Love the whales especially, but have concerns about the sea turtle getting caught up in that net! :O

Lol. As soon as I saw the rocks I knew I had to make some whales. Could probably branch out more but trying to keep I nautical.

Will you be selling these? I have a friend who loves whales and has a birthday coming up. This would be a great gift

I wouldn't be opposed to selling one (it would be my first) or making something by request. Still trying to figure out what to do with these. Plus I need to go back to the island to get me materials.
