Tentacle Gauges / Walking Squid

I get asked a lot about real gauge earrings~ I do make them! If you’re between a 2 and 00 you can order a pair of my custom fake gauges, then specify that you need real gauges and what size you need. I wish I wore real gauges so I understood them better. I see some really amazing polymer clay gauges and want to start applying more intricate designs to my tentacle gauges — via Walking Squid

Santa Cthulhu with Shoggoth / DraigAthar

Shoggoth, with your luminous pustules so bright… It looks like very bad, indescribably terrible weather this year. Santa Cthulhu’s sleigh doesn’t pull itself. He knew just who to ask for help. Pulling the Octi-Sleigh and squirming bag of hugs is a rapidly morphing, protoplasmic vision of a Shoggoth. Don’t stand and look too long, he’s gaining on you — via Etsy

My Little Pony Celestia Themed Chainmail Vest / TheGiantsnoll

This Chainmail vest is themed around Princess Celestia the vest is mainly a frost white to match her coat and has her Cutie Mark adorning both the front and back. The shoulders are in the colors of her mane and tail and they were done in a diagonal pattern, but I noticed when they drape over the shoulder they appear to curve/wave which I thought was cool. I didn’t feel like making full sleeves for several reasons so these shoulder pieces are more for a flourish — via deviantART

Vingt Mille / Mr Jones

In homage to the fearless Captain Nemo, this watch shows the dramatic attack of the giant squid from 20,000 leagues under the sea (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers in the original title). The endless battle between squid and man depicts the time, from hour to hour each appears to be gaining the upper hand. The two men being held by the squid indicate the hours and minutes — via Watchismo

Loki / Turtle Bay Exploration Park

Loki is a very special red fox who came to Turtle Bay Exploration Park at 6 weeks old. He was found as an orphan and could not be released back into the wild. Being so young, he had to go home every night with the animal trainers. Since the What Does the Fox Say video came out, we decided it was an important educational message to let people know what their vocalisations really sound like. Working to put his talking on cue this video shows the first time we worked on it with him. He is quite the character and with 28 different vocalisations, he sure has a lot to say — via Youtube
