We're less than 2 weeks away from the Art & Odd Market!
This is an INDOOR event - so no one has to worry about rain, heat, or wind.

I am so looking forward to being a part of this.

🐙⚙️ The Steampunk Octopus ⚙️🐙

An idea I've had in mind for about a year. The colors, the gears, the adorable little top hat.

Part deep-sea explorer, part Victorian inventor, and 100% handcrafted chaos.

This one-of-a-kind octopus has surfaced from the depths wearing its finest top hat, adorned with gears, chains, charms, and mysterious keys. Every te****le is finished with contrasting colored curls in an antique/patina scheme, giving this curious cephalopod plenty of personality while the metallic embellishments create a true steampunk aesthetic.

These crochet dumpling alternatives were a hot commodity at last night's event- I completely sold out!

Now, there's a few left in Chaos and Curiosities in the original plastic steamer baskets the real squishies come in.

BUT, going forward I will have them in the packaging pictured here. Dumpling stickers included 😀

I'm currently making more, so snag one tomorrow at LaSalle Farmer's Market from 11-2 !
