Kraken sculpture made from cicada molts! Around 2 weeks of work cutting out the parts and glueing them onto an armature made of pipe cleaners and tape. Every “scale” is cut out from the abdomen of the molt, so each scale is from an individual cicada! This was a fun project made at the request of our museum director. No cicadas were harmed in the making of this sculpture.
