Glass Octopus from "Plantation"

This 12-inch-long, ruby red, Octopus, equipped with anatomically correct suction cups is a $395 item from Plantation Home Accessories. I find it both creepy and elegant. Wouldn't an installation of glass sea creatures such as this either hanging from a ceiling or submerged in a tank of distilled water with glass bubbles, eels, jellyfish, sharks and all look simply fantastic?

Now, both Christmas and Hanukkah are approaching and I will pretend I didn't see this! (wink-wink) ;-)

Sea creatures made of glass

In about a 1/2 hour or so I head off to the third day of SPMA Regionals. I am bringing the camera and I may post a video too. Again, I am hoping to break the one minute barrier in the 100 free for the second time in my life.

For now here is a very ornate gallery of sea creatures modeled in glass from the 1800's. Be sure to check out the glass octopus [Link]
