Thank you! Octopus potentially understand play and I think that's just the cutest thing ever!

Some more Octo friends having a good day:

Your sculptures are always so beautiful and expressive, but I gotta say, the little set pieces that come with them are just as wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

That is some good work. The colors and the outlines are very clear.

Very new here! Your work is amazing! Have you ever done any fossil mollusc art?
(I love Ammonites a lot, and my immediate thought upon seeing your Octopi in teacups was: "Could an Ammonite fit in there?")

Hi! Welcome to Bluesky! Thanks for checking out my artwork.

I haven't worked with fossils before, although I've considered and admired ammonite fossils.

So many cool concepts, and only two hands to make things 🥺

slug543.bsky.social•13 days ago

😔 ain't it always so...

Well, while I have your attention, what is your favorite non-octopus cephalopod or mollusc?

sculptedreef.com•13 days ago

Ohh good question... I think the Firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans) and Giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama)

What about you? Do you have any favorites? 🐙

1) Oh yeah, the firefly squid, I've heard a bit about it before! Lovely bioluminescent spots! I actually heard the giant cuttlefish before! Chonky and buff! Very regal, strong picks.
Most of my true cephalopod faves are either extinct, as they were ammonites, but there still so many cool ones! 😎

2) Like the argonauts! I feel like a speculative lineage of them could be a strong contender for: The Second Mollusc Reeef Builders!! Wooo!!
(Rudists...)
I like the idea of them secreting cartilage shell-nests that quickly fill up with sand to form reefs!
Like underwater papiermache spiders lol

Oh I love all their treasures! It’s like the cave of human items in The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️🐙
