Dancing Octopus


20" X 24"

My first thought of DANCE was an octopus. It's a fascinating creature to watch it's kaleidoscopic movements around the coral.

This piece is fused with a blanket stitch outline. I wish I hadn't done the blanket stitch or perhaps I should have used a more neutral thread color. Background fabric is snow dyed.

Comments greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Thanks,
Pam

    I like the twisty tentacles; they really seem to be moving! The blanket stitch doesn't bother me at all, though; it gives a defining outline for the octopus.

    I love the movement you achieved with those tentacles. I agree with Tobi in that the blanket stitch helps to define him.

    The twisted tentacles, as well as the quilting lines, do a great job of showing movement in this piece. This octopus looks like he/she is having a great time "dancing the night away."
