How I made it
Tunde started as a hat that went wrong. The crown came out round and stiff, and my mum said it looked like a shell, so I gave it a head and four flippers.
The shell is six hexagons sewn together. Each one took me a whole evening at first, and by the last one I could do it during a film.
