I was with KM this past weekend and I made her eat Uni. Uni is the Japanese word for sea urchin roe. She didn't like it very much. It is my man's favorite and I like it quite a bit, too, so I thought it might be worth a shot.
Anyway, I thought it might be fun to see what kind of fashions incorporate this spiny little fellow. I was sadly disappointed in my search. All I could really find was the dried shell without spines being depicted. So I did a quick sketch of what I was hoping to find.
I did find these shoes, but even with a reverse image search I could not find the original source. Oh well.

| Urchin Necklace |
There are necklaces on Etsy like the one above made from sea urchin spines.
Here is my own collection of spines. I think they are too delicate to turn into a necklace, though.

| Printed Dress |
I am usually more a fan of the spines than the shell, but this 3D printed dress incorporates the sea urchin shell in a way I enjoy. On second thought, it might just be a floral design that my mind is reading as "sea urchin."
It's so squishy and weird <0.0>. Maybe its an acquired taste, I might give it another chance - in like 5 years or so lol. I do love watching urchins wander around in tide pools just don't like eating them or accidentally stepping on them :P. Love the sketch and the spiked heels, I have some of the more delicate urchin spikes too - maybe we could encase them in resin and make a pendant that way. <3 you!
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone likes stepping on them!
DeleteJust think birthday cake frosting the next time you have it. I swear it tastes like an oceany version of that.
Maybe put the spines in a little bottle?
