Red Tentacles

Sometimes I think a designer puts stuff in to teach a new technique.  I ran into that very thing with this on my last stitching session.  There are two kinds of tentacles on the second jellyfish from the left.  The first is whipped outline stitch, and the second is couched wire.  The wire was superfluous, I believe.  It was a pain to work with and did not add much dimensionality at all.  Anyway, it's done now!  On to working on the next jellyfish for a bit.
