cupid of the sea
alice asked that i help her with a test run of her octopus stuffie she will be offering for sale in the very near future(girl). i said heck yes... so did rose. it is a great pattern, and very alice in that it is quite detailed and full of information. i didn't have any sequins so my octopus has teeny tiny suckers.
you may think this little pinkie is familiar? well, then you would be right. he is the cousin of octophrost, santa of the sea, that wonderful ornament alice made me in the great ornament swap of 2006.
this one? his name is...
octolove, cupid of the sea.
he even has a tattoo.
happy valentines day.... all you sea loving creatures, and thank you alice for a wonderful opportunity to help you out...
a collaboration with the futuregirl!

Deep sea cephalopod of L.O.V.E. Speaking of love, I do love this Valentine's incarnation, with its mincing little suckers. Just tiny hickeys from this one.

You guys are amazing. Each one so different. I'm dying, I'm dying.
Will I ever get to the great ornament swap post that I want to write? You deserve it. It's hard to put into words, that's the delay.

I love this! And will buy a pattern the minute it's available. How darling! The beads instead of sequins is really great too seeing as how I've got tons of the former and none of the latter.
