JORGE BENLLOCH: To get the shape of the dolphin, we can copy from those figurines or from the book or using our imagination or whatever. In fact, all depends on size, all depends on the surface that we want to cover. I mean, we want to cover this for temp, I think, it's the size of the final display board that I have. It's a little bit bigger but has to be a little bigger then we can put here like three or four dolphins but not one on top of each other. It will be like a perfect thing. Then maybe we have to find one and copy; we design or we draw the shape of one here, then we cut it, and we put it in here, then we make a composition. Then we'll see what we have here if there is any good one. Or if not, we are just going to copy any. Start like drawing this dolphin here, kind of half part of it because then let's just make this kind of smiley thing here. Okay. Now just, we cut this. I think that one is cut off, almost, and that one is cut off, okay. We have, for example--and now, we make a composition. We are going to make another one that maybe we're going to copy the same one. Okay. Ready? MAN: Mmmhmm. JORGE BENLLOCH: Okay. Then it's going to be another body shape here and later we will put together. We will curve and jumping together. We are going to cut this one off and we are going to make another one. Maybe this one we are going to make it complete.
