Would love to see pics if you have any, Vicki! The bulbous head I can pretty much figure out, it's adding flowing legs that look like moving tentacles that I don't get. Are you working in boro or soft glass?

I add the legs after shaping the body, just use stringer to put on eight legs - octupusses are symmetrical, so try to place them in a symmetrical formation. place the eyes low on the head and build them like any googly eyes.
I dont have pics and am actually at work, so I cant even take a picture, but will see if I can this evening.
