Sandra's starfish

The background is a piece of fabric, Virginia and I painted/dyed with Seta colour and salt last summer. When I saw the starfish, I instantly envisioned rumpled fabric. So I cut my starfish out of organza and some red lycra I had and then I took random stitches to scrunch it up. While I was working on this postcard, I received a new batch of ribbon and decided this was the perfect spot to try it out. The brown is a hand-dyed cotton and the pink stone is cotton with random stitches to represent the indents I thought I could see in the original.
