Women with cotton and rayon thread, this [octopus interior accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-shimmer-seafoam) was quite the crafty feat. Jemimah made the [wire stumpwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) from scratch to support the squid-like form, making it appear to curl and twist from its backing. Only four inches long, the Embroidered Wall Tentacle embodies the essence of careful crafting.
