fun with starfish


The beach no longer plays a part in my summers, but it certainly did when I was a child, and that mental connection seems to be permanent. Starfish, jellyfish, and shellfish keep popping up in my latest artwork.

This week, the fascinating shapes, colors, and "postures" of starfish inspired some humorous etegami.

  4. I like the movement of the starfish or the lack thereof? Hahahahahah!
    Oh Debbie, thank you for your visit and comment but I am saddened. Is there a way you can get them? At least you have memories, but it would be nice if you can get a hold of her art. Your memory is precious. Take care.
