Everyone knows that owl prints and patches are all the rage, but if you're looking for a new creature to adorn your clothes and accessories, look no further than Aorta's Etsy page for some inspiration from the deep.
This wonderful 'squid dress' is a vintage find that's been beautifully customised with a pair of pink applique squid. The shapes of the tentacled creatures make a lovely silhouette that has transformed this item into something quite special; something she's selling for a highly respectable $36. And if squid aren't unusual enough for you, she has some quite unique applique ideas elsewhere on the site: there's a Debbie Gibson reference in her Electric Youth skirt and most bizarrely of all, another skirt with an applique of 'To Kill a Mockingbird's Scout Finch dressed as a ham'.
Applique is a very versatile craft, isn't it?
