At my octopus!! This is the "rough draft" I still need to tweak her a bit. What do you think? (honest.. I can handle it)

I don't like the mouth black- I was having a super hard time trying to figure out what type ofmouth I would give her. My son made the mouth for me

I just think the mouth needs to be lower. Other than that she's adorable! Great use the the ribbon ball!!

She is really cute. I like that you used purple and the dots. I never would've thought to do the dots. That adds a lot to it. I would suggest maybe bringing the eyes in a little closer together. I made an octopus about a month ago and found that it was cute with the eyes close together. I agree about the mouth. I always have problems making mouths so I'm not much help with that... Maybe a pink mouth would be cute. How do you attach your mouths? I use a little bit of hot glue but they seem to just peel off. e6000?

My octopus was similar to this...

I made mine pink. I didn't know what color to do. I think the purple is great. I will have to try it the next time I make mine.

Over all I think she's very cute.

Thank you! Now- on the shape of the mouth.. the same? Or do you all think a bit thinner maybe?

I used hot glue- but trying to switch everything over to E6000. In this heat (and my sister's extreme cold) I need something that won't peel off as easy.
