This is a little orange octopus that I finished as a commissioned piece. She’s going to sit atop a small tri-corner hat. I can’t wait to see it completed! She's hand beaded with sequin suction cups. Her eyes are clear glass cabachons that have been backed with hand painted paper. I like the way her eyes turned out. I'm going to experiment with this eye technique some more. It's really great if you have an animal with an unusual pupil shape.

I would love to see this when it is completed!!! So interesting! Is this for a special occasion??
ReplyDeleteLove the little octopus!!

P.S. Buttercup entry..lol!!
The woman that I made this for is studying fashion and wants to go into movie costuming. I think this is kind of a steampunk kind of thing. But I'm not sure. I'll post pics when she gets it completed. It's an exciting idea.

ReplyDeleteNice octopus Robin!
ReplyDeleteRobin, this piece is so creative...just love everything about it. I think you need to just stop hoarding all the talent and leave some for the rest of us ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this...great job! You are so right about the eyes!!
ReplyDeleteNice job! Something different, for sure. This will look amazing on the hat--is it for a pirate cosplay, or maybe steampunk? It would make a great addition to a pirate hat!
ReplyDeleteLove the octopus he reminds me of when I worked for the Monterey Aquarium there in California. Our octopus looked very much like your creation and was a favorite of the staff. Good choice on the sequins for the suction cups and great eyes....looks spot on!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't wanna meet this in real life.. *grin*
ReplyDeleteFab work - as always (^^)
Hugs, Irina
Spectacular! I'm not big on octopus but he's wonderful, would love a piece like this!
ReplyDeleteLove his little sequin suction cups.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the octopus came out, especially the unique eyes and the sequin suction cups! I'd love to learn how to craft these sorts of things.
