Incredible, that this is only about 1" wide.

ooookay...
this might be off topic, but it also certainly is a cephalopod

Are you sure? I saw the title but cephalopod is head foot not hand foot. Artistic license I suppose.

 

[RalfP]

well, got me there. so it's a head(skull) hand foot

Ahhh I overlooked the skull, perhaps it is a head-foot that just consumed a human.

While visiting the Natural History Museum in Santa Barbara, I had the chance to visit a local glass artist's studio. Seth Brayer spent a few years as an underwater photographer and makes some beautiful marine-themed pieces ranging from sculpture to jewelry. His octopuses are particularly nice! I have a necklace like the one attached (not a great pic, sorry) - these aren't up on his site yet but they're pretty reasonable at $20 and he guarantees them for life.

Squeee!!! I was hoping someone posted my stuff in this thread because I'd feel so guilty doing it myself.

Noadi's ceph jewelery is now officially PZ Myers approved. Congrats, Noadi!

Made by my daughter using Silpada beads and a charm -- I believe D. Whatley gave the charm to me at TONMOCON II -- is that right, D?

 

[DWhatley]

Yep! Glad someone found a fun use for them. I THINK mine is still on my leather jacket but it has come off a couple of times. The people that have spotted it knew where to find the owner though

Love this keyring

Pewter Octopus Napkin Rings

Since Will has not been diligently adding to this thread lately, I thought I would add an interesting find

I know this thread was started back in 05 but those damn lamps they said you could find all the time for 20 bucks I have yet to find much cheaper than $50 I guess thier value has risen... and I have seen the Octo scrubbers, I was tempted they actually have an entire line of animal kitchen tools

My sister sent me the pink one
