Intention

I initially thought of making a key chain/lanyard holder because I constantly lose my keys in my room and simple have no space on my desk to place my keys. But I decided to double its functionality as a wire holder too.

Research and Inspiration

There were alot of holders that I found online but they looks super minimalist and boring. I wanted to make my holder look goofy;  full of faces and animals so I decided to draw some inspiration from kaomojis and anime. I also knew I wanted to make my hook look like an octopus tentacle, and scene from nichijou came to mind.  Yuuko, one of the main characters, has a sausage in her bento box, cut to look like an octopus and I thought that it was super cute.
