Abstract Ceph Necklace


Img via Amazon

1. It's on sale today
2. It's vaguely ceph-like, with the sinuous suggestion of tentacles. It's a struggle finding pieces that aren't either too accurate (and sometimes way too gothastic) or too cutesy.
3. If you have ample decoletage this could really set those girls off.
4. This necklace against a plain LBD could be quite the look for the holiday office party.

More my speed:

Actually there are three octo ornaments if you want to do a theme. The glass part gives me the willies. I can hear them falling and breaking now.

Wow. My first, and last, octo-human post on this blog. Just...wow.

Octopus Chandeliers

I suppose I'm in a nesting mode, given the current crop of home decor related items. I am not sure I'd want this thing hanging over my bed even if I could afford it, but the fact that it even exists makes me smile.

Tentacular SteamPunk Office


images via becausewecan.org, one damn fine custom furniture design studio

Okay, kids, you *must* check out this redonkulous "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"- inspired office that Because We Can designed for Three Rings Design, makers of Puzzle Pirates.

And when are you too old to have a giant tentacle as a couch? NEVER.



Please visit their site. There's more impressive pics there. Actually dig most of Because We Can's stuff. CNCs-- not just for cutting superfluous, tack-on crap for your overloaded hack bike (cough, O.C.C.*, cough.)

Ways, this office makes me seriously want to redecorate.

*Although the Flow bike was nice and clean and simple, for once.
**Is there cephalopodic motorcycle out there? A gas tank's screaming for an octo paint, don't you think?
