Octopus and Cuttlefish Embroidery

Though I prefer to point out neat things I'm unaffiliated with in the hopes that makes my opinion a little less biased and more trustworthy, there's times that someone I know comes up with just the neatest of neat things.  This is one of those cases.  These gorgeous (and free!) embroidery patterns for octopi and cuttlefish are just too gorgeous to not share.

My favorite is her Cuttlefish Love embroidery pattern -

And if thread's not your thing these would look great stenciled onto a table (how about that Ikea rolling shelf from a few posts ago?) or embossed onto brass or really anything else your creative mind comes up with.  

Other patterns, including one fantastic mass of rising tentacles, can be found here.
