Octopus!

[aggiebishop.livejournal.com]

Every year or two, I forget why exactly I hate sewing with fuzzy fabrics so much, and I decide that they'd be great to use for a stuffed animal. Half the day (and untold amounts of rage) later, I'm really happy with my creation, but fur and I have not yet made peace, and the craft room needs a vacuuming like it has never needed one before.




I named him Edward, after Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard, because he was originally going to be much more of a pirate-type octopus than he ended up being. Largely because I didn't have the patience to give him an eyepatch.


The undersides of his tentacles are in a pirate coin-print fabric, though.


Upside-down, for a better view of this fabric.


He's eating my brains~

I don't really know what I'm doing with this guy, but I might send him on Toy Society-type shenanigans.
Thanks for looking!
