Have you seen the new
Octopus Treasure Cave from Chatelaine? I know I said I was only going to do ONE of Martina's designs because they're so large and expensive (if you get all the goodies) but... this one has an octopus! AN OCTOPUS!
I really wanted
Deep Blue Sea, but I like this one even more! Surely this would be reasonable in DMC and with the beads/crystals I already have in my jewelry-making stash. Right? RIGHT?!? :p
I love this! I love the octopus! I will probably get this one too, along with Deep Blue Sea, but I won't stitch them both at the same time, lol. :) I will be using DMC, but will probably buy the beads called for.
ReplyDeleteRight! I can't wait to see it done :-)
ReplyDeleteRachel, I had a feeling you'd be getting this one too! I have to talk to my GF about it, maybe it can be (yet another, haha) Christmas present for me. Or if I make enough from my current eBay sales... *daydream* :)
ReplyDeleteChris, you're such an enabler! :)))
I really like that one and Deep Blue Sea. I also want the Castle Moyland design. I hope that I can sign up for them sometime next year when money isn't so tight.
ReplyDeletei love it too and i love the octopus too..sweet design.
ReplyDeleteIts stunning. Go on, you know you want to...
ReplyDeleteOooh!! I loooove this one!! The colours are amazing and so dramatic! I think it would be fine with DMC and the beads! Go for it!!
ReplyDeleteSince I'm doing Deep Blue Sea, I'll likely purchase this one as well. I imagine the colors from the larger Mandala will probably carry over, so I'll grab this pattern a bit later.
ReplyDeleteYou know you want to join us on Deep Blue Sea... you really... really... want... to.... *waggles eyebrows*
Hahaha, nooooo, Measi, I will not be getting Deep Blue Sea though I was quite tempted at first! I actually like the little octopus and jellyfish a lot more than the DBS design... which does NOT mean I don't like DBS, just that I'm more interested in this one. :3
ReplyDeleteAnyway, can't lose focus on Chinese Garden Mandala before I even start it! And I'll be happy to stitch along with everyone on this cute octopod. :D
