In animes they sometimes show these tiny, red octopuses, called “tako” in Japanese. When I found patterns for beaded takos I knew that I wanted a red one, like in animes 😄
For its smaller counterpart I chose teal coloured beads. Together they look like they are trying out a new dance routine: to the left – to the right – rolling around!

Takos are the classical filling in takoyaki, Japanese for “grilled octopus” and a very prominent featured street food in animes. So of course I also needed to make my own version of takoyaki 😁

Disclaimer: No beaded takos where harmed while making this takoyaki.

beaded ace hippocampus

Some time ago I found this incredible beaded hippocampus pattern and I knew I needed one. Well, actually at the time of this post I already made three 😁

Today I’ll show you one of them, my ace hippocampus, inspired by the colours from the asexuality pride flag.

black: asexuality
grey: grey-asexuality and demisexuality
white: non-asexual partners and allies
purple: community

Since a hippocampus is a mixture of a horse with a fish’s tail, I chose beads that most resembled the texture of these two parts. The beads for the mane are black opaque matte while the coat is grey colour lined, also with a matted finish. The fish tail is white opaque with a lustered finish which makes the beads extra shiny, while the fins are purple transparent with silver lining.
