I whipped this little guy up on a whim last night, and I absolutely adore him. This took aproximately...three to four hours, with little breaks in between.

"Shy, little Ocotpus" is painted on a scavenged shell with acrylic paint with an Orchid petal background. The curious little fellow is currently all cooped up in his shell, but is just beginning to poke his head out and see the world around him.

... can you tell I love this piece?

I'm not sure if I'm going to put him up for sale, as I'm quite fond of him, but if you're really interested in buying him, feel free to note me, and when I've come to a decision we can talk about prices! :]
