Green Wire Octopus

Here's another of the commissions I've been given for an octopus. This time all in green with a matching green ribbon to hang him up:

This one is larger than the one from the complete mobile (about 30cm tall from top to the end of his tentacles). I've used green beads instead of clear beads and in the light they shimmer like green gold. Totally magic.

If you'd like one for yourself, just send me an e-mail or leave a comment. :-) Go on, treat yourself. ;-)

Sea Creatures Mobile II - Commissioned Mini Mobiles

Remember my Sea Creatures Mobile? I since had a few commissions to make individual mini mobiles. Here are two of them, both are going all the way to Australia.

Fishie Mini Mobile:

Jellyfish Mini Mobile:

The final commission is the little octopus, but I haven't started that yet.

As you can see the colour of the wire/silk I've used is different in these two sets. If you want to commission a different colour, contact me and we'll discuss the options.

The mini mobiles are all £25 plus P&P except for the octopus which is £35 plus P&P. The large mobile is £150 plus P&P.

Sea Creatures Mobile

This is my latest venture - I spent the last couple of weeks crocheting my fingers to the bone with wire. ;-) I am so pleased with it though and think it was worth it.

It's a mobile, each individual creature crocheted from wire, sometimes embellished with Habu silk/steel yarn, Habu paper moire, and/or vintage Edwardian clear beads. The actual mobile also includes some crystals from a vintage chandelier.

Here are detail shots of the individual creatures:

Fishies

 Jellyfish

Sea Urchin

Squid

 Octopus

I tried to stay as true to the actual shape of the creature as I could - within reason and within the limitations of the technique and materials. The octopus was the most difficult one as I wanted it to be '3D' and the legs were complicated at this size with the wire and VERY hard on my hands.

The only tools I used was two crochet hooks, wire cutters, scissors, wire, invisible thread (hanging material), yarn, and glass beads. 

Availability

The mobile itself is available for sale as a commission - it will however take me about 3 weeks to make one. The creatures are also available as commissions individually and it will take 2 - 3 days to finish one. The fish always come as a set of five and all creatures come with a little aluminium 'bar' at the top to be hung into a window or from a hook on the ceiling. For prices please enquire by e-mail.
