Finished some hooks. I also learned recently that these are not tentacles, but rather arms. Tentacles only have suction cups at the ends, while arms have suction all along them.

So at the end of every year I try and take a moment and do something just because, for me, cause I wanna. This year I took two traditional bracelets and made them big. 3/8" round bar Egyptian coil (modified) and a a wave. One was significantly easier.

Bought some wine stoppers and made some tops, simple but sometimes that's what is needed.

Some more squish. This made me feel better. One of them looked like a face. I brass brushed that one to give it the gold tone.

I don't dislike this, I just wish it was more for the amount of time I have put into it, also the number of burns ratio and stress level is higher than it should be. Hmm, maybe it's me and not it.

This has taken me a bit more time than I had originally planned (surprise... Not surprised), but it is coming along. I'll bend the tops tomorrow

Smash. Decided to make a couple of tea light holders. This one was my favorite. Squishing metal is very satisfying.
