If so, send me links to any good crafts or art you made, or stuff you’ve found you think is cool, related to all things cephalopod-ish (squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus…), I’ll be linking to some of the cool stuff around the web this week.

So, in honor of Cephalopod week, here is another order of calamari in watercolor form.

And–since I think it’s the only cephalopod I’ve made craft-wise, I should re-introduce Henri the Hexapus… He’s a pupput and/or a stuffed toy made from recycled sweaters and lots of annoying to sew on buttons….… [ KEEP READING ]

Poor Little One has a Flaw

Don’t forget… Just about 2 more weeks for the Anti-Valentines Day contest! The Crafters are getting their cool items in, and I know my fellow artists can come up with a cool anti-valentines day card or something! … Enter it!
