Late autumn in the north always brings about a dark time of the year, with the last bits of light starting to fade at 4 p.m. Dark thoughts start to creep out of the far corners of the mind, and some of them materialize into creatures.<\/p>

As the light continued to fade earlier with each day, I worked on my first tentacle collection. Octopuses (octopi, octopodes)\u00a0have fascinated me for many years. Changing colours while they dream, able to get out of cages through holes many times smaller than themselves, and that\u2019s just the beginning. Given that I have just one large tattoo, which is, of course, an octopus, it is strange that I haven\u2019t made a themed collection until now.<\/p>

But of course, it all came together when I assembled a collection of included quartz. Quartz has long since become one of my main stones to work with due to the numerous inclusions that it can contain. And in this case, I knew it was the perfect stone to represent the element of water.<\/p>
