Hi All. :)
In addition to being in full swing mermaid season, I've been
busy creating other sea creature pieces this summer.
This giant 4 ft octopus is made with the same body style of my
mosaic octopus, but covered in shells instead of stained glass.
Sold out, I'm no longer making the shell octopus.
I used round mother of pearl donut beads for his "suckers".
Every square inch of him is covered in a mixture of
beautiful seashells, barnacles and coral pieces.
Octopus face
This octopus would look incredible in a beach house, bathroom or anywhere
in the home.
I made a large 4 ft seahorse in the same
seashell "mosaic" style.
Sold out, I'm no longer making the shell seahorse.
The seahorse body has huge white scallop shells with a mix of other shells.
I tried to keep most of the shells in the white family on this piece
along with iridescent mother of pearl pieces...very pretty.
Here he is on the wall for an idea of scale.
His companion is a 3ft sea turtle shell mosaic.
Sold out, I'm no longer making the shell turtles.
I used wonderful natural cockle shells on his back.
This stained glass mosaic sea turtle was something I made
a while back and realized I never posted about him.
See more coastal mosaics in my new online store.
I cut the shape out of wood and applied the hand cut
stained glass in shades of green.
I've made 3 more of the stained glass mosaic octopuses.
Sold out, I'm no longer making this exact body style of the
After making these last two, I wanted to make a
different style of octopus and came up with this version..
Lots of swirling tentacles on this octopus.
Sold out, I'm no longer making this body style in the octopus mosaic.
I tried to give the illusion of dimension with the tentacles
crossing each other
I used the same color glass in a cool blue/green mix.
He's pretty big, quite the statement!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You have inspired me to get back into doing stained glass and I love your "sea" creatures as my home is coastal. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheila, I'm glad you were inspired!
DeleteI love your designs. What did you put the seashells on. Did you use a piece of board?
ReplyDeleteThanks Bubbles! Yes, I cut my own shapes out of wood.
