Etsy Pick: Squid Embroidery

Posted by Caley on January 26th, 2009 at 05:12am

Earlier last week, I wrote a post on beginner’s embroidery and how I want to embroider a squid for my first project. For a little inspiration, I thought I would find the best examples of squid embroidery on Etsy. I will admit I’m a tad obsessed. Searching for such specific topics on Etsy is the most fun though. You should try it! Simply type a favorite animal + a favorite craft (example: penguin felt). In the meantime, here are my three favorite embroidered squids:

Squid Embroidered Wall Art from biffandbunny. She uses three colors of embroidery floss for a subtle change of color along the length of the squid, and the hoop is actually the frame for this wall art. Clever!

Solstice Squids from hissen. For shear hilarity, this design with squids wearing scarfs wins. She can do custom colors and also sells the pattern. I am seriously considering buying the pattern.

La Catrina Sugar Skull Squid also by hissen. Inspired by Day of the Dead sugar skulls, all I can say is wow. This is serious embroidery skill.
