Porpita Porpita -- Blue Button Jellyfish



photo of Blue Button Jellyfish from Google Images

This started out to be something very different. However, when I finished the background in different shades of blue-green, it looked like water, so, after some research, I decided to make a Blue Button Jellyfish. I used several types of silk, which I love to work with. 

I added several types of embellishments, including yarn with holographic dangles. Then, of course, I added the buttons, tiny ones which I have been saving for just the right occasion.

I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

    Really nice tonality of blues.. I like the textures and shimmer of your background, too.. perhaps a bit more of something in the middle?

    Great use of buttons and tones. And it is beautiful. I love the wonky shape and the sparkles.

    The embellishments make the piece - so much sparkle they add! I'm curious as to the "something very different" that it started out to be, but it ended up as something very good.
