Just a couple of weeks now to cephalopodmas and time for my next decoration attempt. This one's a (baby) decapod. I think it's rather obvious how it's made. I used my own pattern software to print the grid though before scoring, cutting, folding and sticking it manually. Eyes can be drawn on, stuck on or a mixture. To suspend it you only need a bead or small button to hold a thread going through the top. It's so light it could even hang from a twisted ribbon garland or paper chain.

Shouldn't the movie be called "Innsmouth" or something? "Cthulhu" is just too obvious.

In the trailer for Cthulhu, I'm pretty sure I recognized bits of Peter Gabriel's music from The Last Temptation of Christ, though I don't see his name in the credits for the film on IMDB. Perhaps the film's composer isn't done yet, so they just used Gabriel's score for the trailer.
