This cute Tentacle Knot is made from a real Cast Octopus tentacle. It has been cast in sterling silver and finished with a dark oxidation with a bright finish on the suckers. You can see the cool details of the suckers on the piece. It’s a solid piece so you can see the suckers on the tentacle on the front and back of the pendant. It hangs on a 1.7mm black leather cord with slip knots tied on each side so you can adjust it easily for shorter or longer lengths — via Etsy

Rarity Unicorn might find dress making easy, but it sure wasn’t easy for me making an automaton of her making a dress. And Opalescence just happily snoozing down there didn’t provide much motivation for me at all! But if the third time’s a charm, this fourth piece in my pony automaton series is simply charming and that’s not just out of my preference for Rarity but simply because she’s the best pony. Did I mention that Rarity is best pony? — via YouTube

This design reminds me of Japanese art meets Hieroglyphics with sort of an industrial feel… Octopus style! It was created in my favourite way… no planning and just going with the flow. It is the last of the three rings of a series. I fabricated the ring out of sheet metal, tubing, using rolling mill techniques. But don’t be fooled, the tubing was goes straight through the top of the ring and actually rests on your finger when you wear it! Just an fun and funky touch to make it different. It’s a nice wearable art piece, One of a Kind and Ready to ship! — via Etsy
PVC is great: cheap, common, easy to work, and easy to join temporarily or permanently. Only problem is, it’s kinda ugly, much of which owes to the fact that it only comes in white, grey, sometimes black, and (if you’re willing to pay through the nose) clear. Furniture grade
PVC pipe can sometimes be found with integral colour, but you’re limited to factory shades and if you want matching elbows, tees, or other fittings, you’re out of luck, because fittings only come in white. Sure, you can paint it, but PVC doesn’t take paint all that well, and the paint is prone to flake and screws up the dimensional tolerances. With stain, you get colour that doesn’t flake or add thickness, so you can stain pipe and fittings different colours before assembly and still expect them to fit. You can even take them apart and reassemble them in some other way without affecting the finish — via MAKE
