I love this and would want to put in my front yard, but where did she store all those plastic bags?
Hi Cathy… Just stumbled across this article!… Thank you! It is so cool to find my Octopus appearing across the web… All the bags were collected, cut and made into yarn then stored in boxes in my garage..! Kindest, Jacq
