Hello, recently I decided to paint an Octopus. It seems I am now officially obsessed with them. I have joined a appreciation society on FB 
I have painted 3 Octopuses so far and need 1 more so I can create a set of Coasters.
Can someone please tell me I am not alone

@JopalianStudio that’s a wonderful idea! You should share it in the octopus appreciation society on FB
Love them too. I was blown away when I saw them when diving in Curaçao where we were living many moons ago
Wow! I have never seen one before. I love the idea of these magical creatures in the oceans wandering about carrying coconut shells as weapons 
I do like a good octopus! The Romans used to show lots of marine creatures in their fantastic mosaics, sea creatures especially the octopus are so interesting. Great choice and lovely painting Siobhan.
They are super quick but if they live in a safe environment they will come out to play.
@Fififoxi thank you my daughter painted one the other day. She is only 8. I love how free children are with their art and use of colours. Without a care in the world 
Who loves Octopuses.Well we do. Apparently it has been proved by scientists that they are super brainy.Well we designed a crochet pattern for them and took photos of them on our beloved Exmouth sandy beach
Caused quite a stir we can tell you.
Warning.They are a bit addictive once you start making them.Dont say we didn’t tell you.
So lets hear it for the Octopus
Anyone else fallen in love with Katsu the mechanical octopus from The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley?
I will have to Google that, I am sure I probably will fall head over heels 
@Oldtoyknittingshop that is a wonderful Octopus indeed!!
Hello, @Oldtoyknittingshop I bought your pattern!!! Trying to crochet it at the moment I will be giving it to my little boy who loves to fidget with strings…so to stop him choking me with my hoodie strings I am trying your Octopus pattern xx
Hello Siobhan
Sounds like the perfect solution.Hope he loves it

I love octopuses… this one is guarding chocolate 
I’ve never made anything Octopus related but they are amazing creatures. My son managed to get 3 photos of one on a holiday in Mallorca a few years back 
Wow, I have never seen an Octopus before. That looks amazing. I am busy getting ready for my craft fair this weekend. I hope my Octopus crafts do well
@laurastrong that is indeed a cheeky octopus
I have finally listed all four of my Octopuses. These are really cute as a Coaster Set
