Ceph items and jewelry collection...

Octopus door handle...

His is a staggering $1,200.00, but man is it pretty...

However, in my search, I have started to find others which have created very similar pieces for substantially less. If I were a wealthier man, I would still go with Stephen as he is just a great guy.

I am trying to find out from a few different people if we have a group buy of like 6-10 pieces, if we can get them at a substantially reduced cost. I'll keep everyone posted and see what we can do. If some of these artists will make a bunch and sell them for $400-500, it would put it well within reach.

Ok, forget saving, I'm going to buy a lottery ticket...

New pieces for the bathroom...

I found these all at the same site as one should be able to tell.

The first is a soap holder, the second is a towell holder, and the third and final is a toilet paper holder.

For the ladies...

Too bad I don't have an important female right now.

On ebay, I saw this jacket but she is ending today. A little goofy, but fun.

Nice idea WK, and nice execution!!

I really like the Idea of these doorhandles.
Looks like my next holiday-project
But I think 1,200$ is way over the top...
I am a steel erector (guess that's the appropriate word for someone that builds welded constructions?) and I did a lot of forging whenever there was a little free time.

I'd say you need no more than 4 to 5 hours to make a pair of these.
But after all it is still ART and not an everyday product

Apart from that I would make them myself, I would not pay more than -lets say- 300$ to 400$ for a pair.

Damn, I'm really starting to like these...
...but I don't own an adequate door

Some new things maybe you haven't seen yet...

Here are some new little things for your amusement.

The first is a wacky little thimble. Normally I do not lean toward the big-eyed ceph stuff, but this was just a little too fun.

The second is much more to my tastes. It is a 20,000 Leagues box that the top comes off of.

The third is just a little window hanging light catcher.

 

[sorseress]

Truly nifty stuff, as usual. I like the box best, too.

Soap & Chocolate Molds

Something for the house...

If you want to entertain, you can have guests eating your chocolate cephs, or washing with them in the guest bath. Here are two molds I have found (both also available on ebay under "octopus mold".

Something I just got...

Also, I have added a new knob. This little guy is about 2.5" across and is very sturdy. It is a knob from Roland St. John's collection. I am replacing a set of brass knobs with these and have already had several compliments. He also makes a good shark knob.

Correction:

Only one is available on eBay

 

[Donnerboy]

Ah! Sorry, I bought one of the two...

 

[DHyslop]

So did I!
