This summer, it seems that starfish have become a theme. There are more on the beach than normal. And I have purchased a few new pieces of summer jewellery, you guessed it - Starfish.
This post is a little late. A few weeks ago I attended a workshop by Deanne Fitzpatrick. It was "White on White" - a summer starfish pillow. I always struggle with the tone on tone color graduations, so this class was alot of fun. There are several different textures. I used wool strips, yarn, roving, and even a little lace ribbon! Its a cute little pillow. I might even hook a 2nd one - maybe with a sand dollar?
Below are a few photos I took last month at the beach. A little starfish inspiration.
Kim,
ReplyDeleteI am in love with that starfish pillow!!!! Yes Yes! Make a sand dollar one! You NEED to have a collection of those pillows!
Love the starfish photos too! Do you find them attached to the shells that way? You can tell I don't live by the ocean LOL!! Been there once or twice and I've always loved shells and starfish etc!
