I'm so glad to see Althea out and about, and what lovely photos you have posted, Purranha! I have a new addition to my own octo family, so thought I'd share...a giant in rose bronze and a teensy baby, kiln-fired enamel on silver, both set with metallic freshwater pearls I got at the September show in Hong Kong. This is the first time I've made one of the infants into a post earring, and I'm thinking I may need to make more!
He looks like a Fred to me. I don't know why.
