Ceph Furniture...

[Donnerboy]

I have some bath stuff to add.

The blue one is just a stick-on bath decoration (suction cup on the back); the red one is a propeller-driven bath toy (takes 2 AA batteries and actually works pretty well!); the white one is one of a set of non-slip octos that work like a bath mat on the floor of the tub (if you can get over their expressions... understandable considering their view most of the time ), and the silver one is a soap dish. I used to have a bath plug too - plain black rubber plug with a floating blue octo attached by a chain, but I can't find it.

These are fantastic!

See if you can find the bath plug as I really want to see it now.

Octopus tape...

D,

This is great. It's very Japanesey though, with the mouth all puckered up like that. Maybe when the Japanese look at a ceph, they like to anthropomorph the jet into a mouth. I am not sure, but the netsuki I own always have them puckered just like that.

I have noticed the same thing about all the Japanese octos, especially the netsuki's and I have very few that have this configuration. Worse, I have since seen replications of the style that are not Japanese. I am sure there is some reason they turned the siphon into a mouth. My guess is that someone realized the error but had made too many things that way so it became a lucky configuration (there is a thing about elephants trunks like that - can't remember the rules though).

D,

I went to this site and contacted them, but they no longer have this item.

Ceph Furniture... Desk

I can't get it to come up. All I get is a full size screen of it and no listing.

However...

With that one being done, let's review what we have in terms of Ceph Furniture for one's Desk.

Now, here we have a stamp, a piece of stationary, and two images of a flash drive.

Ceph Furniture... Desk

OK, I know what you're thinking...

You're thinking, "Wow that's a lot of pens! Luckily there are enough octos to hold them!"

Yes, enjoy these four varieties of pen holders.

Ceph Furniture... Desk

These last four wrap up what I have found for desk so far.

The first card holder I love, and the rest while lovely are just paper-weights.

Hoo boy, the desk...

Well... here are most of the desktop locals, although probably only two qualify as true stationery items (the black eraser and the blue-based stamp). There's also an epic battle on my windowsill...

These are also usually somewhere on my desk.

Heh. Just don't reach for the wrong one when you're half-asleep!

That's a stamp?!

Looks like a bottle cap that they used to sell of monsters when Godzilla went to Monster Island and fought King Kong (which whenever it's on the tube would make any given Saturday afternoon a sweet extravaganza of Coke and boiled peanuts!).

 

[Tintenfisch]

Yep, the base is a stamp, about 1" diameter, although the ink is so faded that I couldn't take a picture of the actual stamp on paper. However, I when looking for another one like it online (think I got it at the Museum Victoria in Melbourne) I discovered that there are heaps of others... like
this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one in the netsuke siphon-mouth theme, and this personalized address one on Ebay! There's also this Canadian postage stamp (along with all the other Kraken-themed postage stamps ever, listed below it).

So there's some more stationery. Still searching for the bath plug at home...
