Joyce G's starfish

My interpretation of the starfish is stitched with Needlewoven arms from a central spiral web in a fun red overdyed floss. I liked the spiral effect of the Barnacles and Crustaceans so I accented the spirals. Ridged Webs, Eyelets and French Knots worked well for the shells with Ghiordes Knots for some of the coral. I added a few rock bits from my stash. The whole piece is on a piece of teal satin that begged to be used. This guy looks so musical and magical that I’ve christened him “Twinkle Toes”.
