Octopus and Anemones
Haro~ and another hisashiburi. So many things happened but I finally have summer holiday. Yay. But that's not what I wanted to write about (not yet >3). I wanted to show a bag I made last week (I made 93867398 other things last week as well but this is my favorite). It is a cool bag. It is an octopus bag. Lol!

And if anyone makes the slightest 'omg tentacle raep!!1' joke, then... *shakes fist*. This is an innocent little octopus *nod*.

I find it so cute *~*


It's got 8 tentacles and consists of 6 parts:

That central 'button' is from an old foldable umbrella
and it's connected to the interior with a screw, a metal circle and sponge.
Yes, all those elements are essential in this design *_*;


The 'entrance' was supposed to look like an octopus beak.


And it's got inner pockets! That's my hand in one of them ^^;;

I am perfectly aware that octopus tentacles have their suction cup thingies on the inner side, but I decided to place them differently to show them better. They are actually plastic grommets for hanging curtains. Haha~! And because I couldn't get black ones in such small size anywhere, I bought colorless ones and painted them on the inside:

All 46 of them >_>;


Putting technical details aside, it can be worn (carried?), as usual with my bags, in several ways. The basic way is like this:

(We're ignoring my hair here, I had an afro the previous day. Those are its remains.)

The loose tentacles don't have any function, but the have wire in them so they can be shaped:


The diagonal strap is actually idle, the weigh of the bag is on the other 2 (4 tentacles). It can also be put under the arm and hang loosely on the hips. And the whole thing can also be worn as a backpack!!1 But it's troublesome to put it on, haha.
Everything is, admittedly, slightly troublesome here anyway, and those straps are very easy to get tangled in ._.;

Uhm, end of serious part. Omake tiem!

Of course it's a nice and friendly octopus but sometimes it gets hungry. And then it tends to attack people. Like this:


Trying to stop it is futile~!


*whole head swallowed* Noooo~~!


GRSfwjkgfjbfigfiradstrrfgr~~ *last attempts of resistance*

...


Final stage: Octopus Zombie! Cthulhu! Davey Jones!


HAHAHAH.
I never said I was sane anyway ._.; Appreciate my input in this though, as it is almost impossible to breathe like that.




I need to photograph/present so many other things~! It will happen soon. As for now, I'm posting pictures of two extraordinarily beautiful anemones. Anemones are among my favorite flowers and these ones I grew myself *_* I also have blue, pink and red ones, but these twin white ones I attacked with my camera like a paparazzi.













Das Ende~
