The cuttlefish is the most adorable thing ever! :swoon:
*flail* So I feel super behind on some things! I was out of town for a week so that's my excuse for not having cuttlefish up for sale yet, but SOON I hope! :shark:
But I did manage to get some things done before Lorelei's visit and our giant Faerieworlds/Oregon coast adventure! I made a kelp top for Elodea while she was in town for PAX, and then I was a super awesome genius and made her a matching kelp bracelet which thankfully turned out pretty awesome so I'll probably be selling those on Etsy as well! Separate from the tops so if you can't afford/don't want a full silicone top but you like the kelp look, you can have a bracelet for cheeeeeeep!
Here's the top and a couple views of the bracelet:

I'm also finishing up Fifi's octos which I didn't finish before leaving last week because I didn't want to rush them and do a crappy job. Luckily she's awesome and has been super understanding and patient with me! She had asked me if I could make my octos in a different color scheme, like off-white and brown, so I suggested doing a Pacific striped octopus because they have those colors but still with a cool pattern, and they have the same body shape as the blue-ringed octopus. Here's how the first one looks (still painting all the spots on the second one, but nearly there):

Thank you so much! I'm really excited to offer the kelp bracelets as they're quick and easy to make and won't have to cost an arm and a caudal fin (har har). Also I don't think anyone else makes anything like them (yet....wonder how long before someone decides to imitate them though :P )
I've got my eye on a few items, but I just ordered the monofin for my fabric tail so I need to wait a bit until I get funds 😢 but soon...sooon.

Totally completely understand :money: Very same boat. Much broke. Wow.
I'm so happy with how my Occys look :D
You are so talented!!
Thank you so much Fifi! I had a lot of fun with this paint job! Here are a couple more pics to tide you over until they get there :)

Oh my gosh that kelp bracelet! Gorgeous work. You're very talented in this medium :)
:fallover: :swoon:
Oh my, those octopuses are so gorgeous! I love all of the detail you've put into them! They look so real!
O:
The bracelets are so pretty, that's totally on my accessory list.
I want an entire set of creatures! I am one of Elodea's Pod Members of The Sacramento Mermaids. I had the honor of walking around with "Pod" at Sac Anime

Thanks so much everyone! :) I guess my years of studying zoology and marine biology have paid off ;)
I also think all the little detail work I've been doing on these is great practice for when I finally finish my full tail (anyone remember THAT thread? Maybe I should update it one of these months...)
WOW. That stingray is so beautiful on that hairpiece and I love the shape you chose to apply the makeup and glitter. So mermaidy. <3Quote:
