This was my first object, and my first attempt at connecting objects together. I was initially aiming to create a completely different object, but because of certain mistakes, I was not able to make the mushroom. Instead, I was able to make something like a flower (probably seen in a game of Mario).
For my second object, I wanted to perfect joining objects together, and also be able to plan out an object and make it exactly the way I would like it to look. So I chose to make an ice cream cone, and I was able to make successfully make it. I tried making it interactive, however, I had stuffed it too much and hence could not pass a thread through the inflatable.
For my final inflatable, I chose to make an interactive object, which could serve as a couch cushion but was intended to just be an abstract object. I was able to perfect joining objects, and also made it interactive by adding two tiny spheres to the end of the inflatable, which could change its size depending on how much it was pulled.

I found it difficult to figure out what the correct cutting surfaces would be, but after a lot of trial and error. I was able to cut the object correctly, use its modular nature to work on a portion of the object, and replicate the cutout patterns for the entire object, as shown below in multiple images.
