"This part of the project, we want to make sure we have everything that we need and every- thing's in order. Things that we're going to, going to use for embellishing, like the eyes, the tissue paper, glitter, sequins. That can all be set aside right now. What we want to do right now, is really sort through our pipe cleaners. We're going to use the black ones for the main form of the body. But then we want to decide on what colors we're going to use. And, we're going to use them together, to give them a real strong punch of color. So, you want to sort out and choose the colors for your fish. You're going to choose the tail, the fins, the mid-body, and as you can see, with this fish, I striped him out a little bit. And, you can do as much as or as little you want, when it comes to the thickness and the tightness of the pipe cleaners. So sorting out your pipe cleaners, is an important part, because we're going to keep wrapping, and we're going to continuously do that. Almost like in a sewing motion, in order to give it a real strong, solid look to our fish. So, we have want to plan out for our fins, our top and bottom fins, also our head, and the body."
