You would install this in your home. Yes or no?

[True Dough]

[wcmagumba]

1. Is that thing in Mar-a-Shit Hole? Looks like it could be...

[Easterncedar]

25. Boo. Way too beautiful for that tasteless clown

[Shellback Squid]

2. I might, looks cool although a bit crass

[True Dough]

5. Something tells me,

you have a thing for aquatic life.

[debm55]

3. Sorry, no.

[True Dough]

6. One too many tentacles for you, deb?

Your home would be well-armed!

[hlthe2b]

4. Octopus stained glass light?

Not for me, but for thee?

[Alpeduez21]

7. No way and hell freaking yeah!

I think I could grow to love that

[True Dough]

8. If nothing else,

it would be a conversation piece.

[Ocelot II]

9. It would be quite the conversation piece, wouldn't it?

[LuvLoogie]

10. In the right context, yes.

But not against that wall and ceiling, or with those colors. This needs to be in a room with dark wood furniture / wall trim/ moulding. Deep saturated color on the walls and ceiling. Think maybe the captains quarters on an old, wooden, 5-masted schooner or an old mansion's library.

You could even do it on a porch as long as you could protect it from wind/bad weather.

You'd have to be careful about the candle's, but definitely use them.

[True Dough]

11. Maybe with this in the corner...

[soldierant]

35. I'm with you there.

I was going to say "I might, if I had the house to go with it." I admire Art Nouveau and particularly staind glass, but I'm way too committed to surrounding myself with things that function for me to beable to put together even a single room where that would look good, -much les a house.

[Solly Mack]

12. With some modifications, yes.

[True Dough]

14. You can't

tamper with perfection, Solly!

[Solly Mack]

15. Can, too.

[True Dough]

16. Oh, I get it

You want a matching pair!

[Solly Mack]

17. Yes

[Nictuku]

13. Absolutely!

[yorkster]

18. Where is this from? Fascinating.

Looks like French or German 1910s era.
Art Nouveau or Jugenstil.
Or maybe someone at Tiffany's on acid...

[True Dough]

19. Don't know

just saw the image on the innerwebz without any explanation.

21. Craftsman Makes Spectacular Stained Glass Octopus Chandeliers

[sinkingfeeling]

20. No way.

[Norrrm]

22. Make it slowly descend over the dining table with the arms slightly faster.

[True Dough]

23. Then it would be

an engineering marvel!

[Easterncedar]

24. Gorgeous!

I’d love to have it, though I bet it’s hell to dust.

[True Dough]

29. No need to dust it.

Use a pressure washer. It's an octopus. It will hold up.

[Srkdqltr]

26. I wouldn't, but, it sure is interesting. Beautiful in a way.

[johnp3907]

27. YES!!!!!

[Laffy Kat]

28. If I had a Steam Punk Motif. nt

[John Coktosten]

30. Ha!

Oh yeah! It'd be perfect in my man cave.

😎

[wendyb-NC]

31. No, that wouldn't work in my clutter

[Marie Marie]

32. Nope.

[DBoon]

33. if it was a Kraken puling down a sailing vessel maybe

but not as it is

[Phoenix61]

34. Only if I could get rid of the candle holders.

I think they distract from the stained glass.

[Bayard]

36. Maybe in a pirate's house,

Way cool with a parrot sitting on it. Arrrr.....

[eppur_se_muova]

37. Not my home, but maybe in my secret futuristic submarine ...

... in which I patrol the world's sealanes, sinking vessels of war of all flags.

[malaise]

38. No n/t

[Niagara]

39. Yes, If I had a nautical or pirate themed room

It's an improvement compared to deer neck mount hanging on a wall.

[True Dough]

42. How many points on that deer mounted on your wall, Niagara?

[Niagara]

43. Zero, True lol

I'm extremely fortunate that there's none of that creepy nonsense here in this home.


I can't stand being in people's homes that have these type of trophies.


I also understand how important it is for deer hunters to help control the deer population to keep deer diseases in decline.



I'm just not a fan of seeing the deer heads hanging on a wall. It's s "I can't breathe" type of dislike.

I didn't mean to get so long winded this morning.

[Emile]

40. It's definitely different. Maybe if I had a man cave.

[mwmisses4289]

41. It's beautiful work.

Definetly goes into a maritime themed bar or restaurant. Not sure about a home though.

[Fla Dem]

44. Absolutely NOT!!!
