That is really bizarre - I haven't heard of anything like this. I'll ask the cephalopod experts at the aquarium this week. I have had the experience of having round cellophane-like pieces stuck to my arm after being caressed by a giant pacific octopus, but that is sloughed-off skin, nothing...

Hi, Jess! Super pretty necklace! I look forward to seeing your creations in the beader's forum. Welcome to PG (as a non-lurker)!

Ooh, that little green pearl is gorgeous - can't wait to see it in person!!!

Love, love, love those earrings, Purr!

Wow, jeg...those colors are breathtaking!
