Cuttlefish

 



Another piece done for Eric. He's always had a fondness for cuttlefish, but they seem to be under-represented in the art world. The octopus and the squid seem to get all of the lovin's. Too bad, because they are pretty fascinating creatures.

So once again, I plead ignorance of applique when I did this. I didn't follow a pattern, I just made it up as I went along. I used embroidery floss for the tentacles of the jelly fish, and blanket stitching all around everything. I didn't even know what fusible interfacing was yet at this point. All things considered, it turned out well.
