Octopus

Cette fois-ci je me suis inscrite et je m'y suis tenue.
D'abord intriguée par ce thème, la pieuvre, je me suis prise au jeu.
En cherchant , j'ai trouvé toutes sortes de documents fascinants sur elle.
Quant à traduire cela en création, ce n'était pas encore au rendez-vous.
J'ai commencé simplement en cherchant dans ma collection et j'ai trouvé, peu mais j'ai trouvé des composants "pieuvre":

This time I signed in and here I am for the reveal.
I was first intrigued by this Art Elements Octopus theme but I soon found out these animals were fascinating. However, turning the information into creation was the challenge.
I started quite simply by going through my stash to find some octopus components. I found some,  few but some:
Fermoir / Clasp, Green Girl Studios
Perle / Bead, Grubbi Ceramics
Un début. J'avais envie d'un peu plus, alors j'ai pensé feutrage à l'aiguille, mais le temps de m'y remettre... une autre fois. Puis j'ai pensé aux tentacules, et dans les perles , j ai trouvé de quoi faire  un pendentif, que je n'ai pas encore monté en collier mais presque,

That was a start, but I wanted something more so I thought about needle felting, but it has been such a long time since  I did some that I dismissed it quite quickly.
Then I thought "tentacles", and I had quite a few beads that fit my ideas so I started this pendant which will very soon be turned into a necklace, 


Perles de verre et céramique / Glass and ceramic beads, Blueberribeads

parceque je me suis lancé dans un tissage de perles. 
J'ai trouvé un modèle chez NWBCJewelry que j'ai tissé et transformé en collier amulette. 

because I chose to weave beads.
I found a pattern at NWBCJewelry which I turned into an amulet bag necklace.


Merci de m'avoir plongé dans le monde  des pieuvres et je suis curieuse de voir ce que les autres participantes ont créé.

Thank you for taking me into the Octopus world and I'm really curious of what the other participants created:

  7. You were brave to go beyond the octopus charms you found in your stash. I wasn't that brave.
    Anyway, I LOVE the idea of translating octopus into a tassel. It's such a cool idea. And your amulet bag is wonderful too.
