Ariella’s First Gyotaku Attempt

Spearfished a Striped Seaperch, and wanted to print it. My friend Ariella is here to help me with printing a background as well by using small pieces of red algae from where they live. This video isn't really a guide, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. We are just playing around with kelp and seeing how they print. I definitely learned a lot, and I made some notes from the print.
