Meet big Papa

[ckrickett]

We all have fallen in love with Sheri's Octo Babies. But my little dude was getting lonely, so I adopted one of the parents. The big brass and Blue Baroque SSP named Big Papa!

He just arrived today and he is wonderful! I just have to figure out the best way to wear him now! Thinking of making a special necklace out of brass and silver with some metallic lavender ovals. but we will see!







reunited and it feels so GOOOOOOOd!!!!

 

[ennui]

Simply beautiful! I swear, I can see motion. OctoGirl has managed to capture movement.

Apparently my octobaby has decided I am a complete idiot and he's camouflaged himself to hide from me. I can't find it! I know it's here ...

 

[ennui]

HA! Found him! In a safe place, naturally. I have too many "safe places."

In my search, however ... well, my idea of housework has always been to sweep the room with a glance, but after feeling around in the sofa cushions, I realize that's not particularly effective.

 

[cmd2014]

Yay! I'm not brave enough to look closely at my couch cushions...

 

[Lovinggems]

Ckrickett wow your big octo is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see a neck shot please!

 

[NacreLover]

Ckrickett, I'm laughing at your reunited song. Your new octopus is beautiful. Can't wait to see how you wear him.

 

[missy]

Love Big Papa! He is big and beautiful and has a big personality to match. Love him and cannot wait to see pics of you wearing him! Enjoy!

 

[enbcfsobe]

wow!!! he's gorgeous! what a pair! i agree that this design really captures the movement of the tentacles in an amazing way. can't wait to see how you wear him.

 

[icy_jade]

Oh, we need neck shots for this big boy!
Happy for you that you finally got him!

 

[Pirard]

Love octo daddy! Il polpo è fantastico!

 

[ckrickett]

Thanks, he is something special. Big papa and little dude have been hanging out all afternoon! They really missed each other.

I'll post neck shots as SOON as I figure out how I am going to wear him. I may string some little lavender ovals together with some pyrite beads to make him a temp home !! I'll post more later!!!

 

[ckrickett]

found a brassy colored chain to wear him on until I figure out a more permanent arrangement. I am wearing him long but I may wear it shorter. Thoughts.



if it were shorter

 

[krissy7]

Wow he looks fabulous Ckrickett! I like him on the longer length chain as you are wearing him in the pictures. Hope you really enjoy him!

 

[ennui]

I vote for the longer chain -- it's a statement!

I like large pendants worn over the heart. That's a power piece.

 

[Tucs]

Wow, it's such a statement piece! It looks very good on that chain.

Can you hang him from a strand? It would look amazing on your blue akoyas. Also in a longer chain.

 

[iguanatan]

He looks amazing.
Ack, all these gorgeous Octos are making me want one!

 

[ckrickett]

I was thinking of my blue okays, once the weather isn;t so bloody hot down here I will try him on that! Its so hot its hard to wear anything

 

[ennui]

I was thinking of my blue okays

The blue "okays" sound nice.

Honestly, when I see all these 'autocorrect' misposts, I think of The Terminator. Machines will take over, just give them time.

 

[katbran]

Goodness he is a big Papa ! Is he heavy ?

Big Papa is an amazing statement piece! He really does look like he is in motion.

that would be my blasted autocorrect! That is the same reason my "Torsade" is called the tornado.

 

[ennui]

Goodness he is a big Papa ! Is he heavy ?

I seem to recall that OctoGirl said the big papa weighs in around four ounces.

I wonder if big mama is still available. I guess no one here got it?

I would email her!!!

 

[ennui]

I asked about Big Mama when I got my octobaby. Big Mama isn't in my budget.

 

[thecat]

It's a conversational piece! The tentacles seem to be in movement It looks more at home on the longer chain due to its size.

 

[ckrickett]

I was torn between Mama and papa. What won me over was the pearl. The FW purple pearl was stunning, but I have a soft spot for big silvery blue south sea pearls!

 

[ckrickett]

so I really really loved the bronze chain, but the links were too big. They would get stuck on his arm and it took a a lot of effort to remove them. I was worried a few times I would damage him. so I decided to make him a little freshwater necklace with some metallic rice pearls, and maybe get an Honora Ming and bronze chain for him in the future. The pearls just came in and I will either string tonight or tomorrow.

 

[ckrickett]

here he is on his new home

What a great new home for Big Papa!
