Octo Babies!

[Purranha]

Blaire/Sheri/BPDD - I would LUV to see 3 generations of Octos together - big poppa, the kiddies, and the tiny babies. Can someone please post all 3 together? And would love to see them just hanging out, as well as neck shots of sorts for sizing references.

Also, for people who are interested in adopting an Octo baby, what's the best way? Just PM Sheri here on P-G? Thanks!

Sorry to take so long to respond to this thread! I just took this shot of an octo gathering, showing all the sizes I have made thus far, with a quarter, dime, and Euro coin in the shot to help give a better idea of the size. The tiny infant is truly tiny - less than 1/2" long in its longest dimension. The biggest one has an 18+ mm pearl in its head. All of the cephalopods have a tentacle loop suitable for a chain or jump ring, though I am considering adding a stud to the tiniest size so I can make that size available as a post earring. One of these ruckuses, we should have a group shot of the octo-babies on a play date...I'm sure they would appreciate a reunion.

Any inquiries regarding potential adoption can be initiated via PearlGuide private message.

Octo-hugs!

Sheri

I love your work, Sheri! So fun!

 

[Purranha]

OMG! I didn't realize they come in so many sizes! ADORBS!!! Thank you so much for posting & sharing Sheri!

 

[CathyKeshi]

Sheri, the cephalopods keep getting cuter and cuter; makes it even harder to choose just one LOL! Giving me some new ideas for what I want though! Thanks for posting these

 

[Purranha]

I'm making the move to adopt some Octo Infants, too.
Just placing orders with Sheri and I can hardly wait!
Will post photos when they arrive.

Introducing Althea, my newly-adopted Octo-baby! Thanks, Sheri!

 

[GemGeek]

Althea looks smashing and I love her contrasting background.

 

[Purranha]

Oooohhh Althea is the one directly above the quarter yes?
Would either Cicadalady or Sheri share more about the metal and pearl that Althea is born out of? Thanks!
And Cicadalady congrats on the adoption!

 

[Cicadalady]

Althea's antecedents kiln-fired enamel on fine silver with a freshwater ripple body. She's already accepting compliments from those who meet her

Hello Ladies, as mentioned, I moved forward with some Octo Babies adoptions, too. I picked up 1 of the very smallest (the last one, I think she is sibs to GemGeek's pair?), and the remaining pair of the 2nd smallest size. I think I'm ready to start adopting older sibling, soon!

Trying to find the right habitat for the kids - how about a cloud of cashmere? some nice chubby succulents? aquarium stones/shells?

 

[Purranha]

Mommy mommy - are they new friends or are they snack?


Hmm probably a good idea for the kids to hang out with "safer" friends...
And yes, stuffies in my household get pearl danglers.


The kids finally found a habitat they are comfortable and happy in - along side their pearl sisters!

Oh what a wonderful collection! Especially love the photo with your kitty

 

[CathyKeshi]

The kids look so much safer in the last photo

Cuties and beauties!! Thanks for the smiles!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Welcome to the Octo club...looks like they fit right in!

 

[BWeaves]

I love the stuffed animals with the pearl chokers! If I wasn't so greedy to keep my pearls to myself, my stuffies might get some, too.

 

[Purranha]

Lol for some reason I never played with dolls or stuffies when I was young, but did collect a few as an adult and I've grown fairly attached to them. Similarly to Sheri's traveling Clyde, my babies sometimes travel with me, they eat well, and they get danglers and jewelries.

This one was taken during an earlier fall apple picking trip. Gorilla is wearing a light GSSP drop dangler, Lamb is wearing a Larimar choker.


These 2 little ones were in DC with me during a cherry blossom visit, and the last pic is from a family trip with mom to south east asia (thus the exotic fruits)!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Love these photos! And wow does that look delish!

The new octos are adorable, love the oval shaped head, but my favourite is the cherry blossom pic.
