Well it looks like we're over halfway finished the cruise (and the mini break crafting marathon) so it's time to show you one of my favourite creations - squid brooch!
Hehe! Isn't he adorable? I do love me some wide set eye smiles and I am really fond of the nice rusty orange/red wool felt Fraser picked out in Victoria. I didn't have any embroidery cotton that was an exact match with the orange but because I was so pressed for time I decided to go with some thread that was a tinge lighter. I sort of like how it makes the handstitching stand out though. Take a closer look:
What do you think of him? Are you a fan of squid?
Have you seen a squid on your cruise or any other wild life (other than your fellow passengers)? Mom
ReplyDeleteI think he's real cute! Oh and my sister suggested that you make these little lovelies into key-chains instead of brooches
ReplyDeleteI would like it as a keychain. I'm not as keen on novelty brooches as you are. A magnet would be great too. Is that a Humbolt squid? I hear they're moving farther and farther north. I do love his little smile :)
ReplyDeleteAww what a cutie! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGah! MOST FAVOURITE THING EVER! I <3 squids so much and this one is particularly cute. I have a squid badge that I made, but it is not as cute as yours. I love the face and the rounded tentacles ^_^
