Starry Night
Category: Traditional
Description
Starry Night is my fusion of dark and light. The midnight blue felt represents the dark night sky, which fuses together with the sparkling diamanté’s, to bring to mind the twinkling light of the night stars. Carefully bought together, they create a fusion of dark and light, which in turn makes a swirling, twinkling, galaxy.
