Small colour wheel window star

Description

These stars are made by folding delicate and colourful sheets of tissue paper (we call it silk paper in the Netherlands I don't know if it's exactly the same thing) and glue them together. If held against the light they create interesting en beautiful patterns. The best place for them is taped against a window.

The choice of colours in this one is loosely based on Goethe's colour wheel. The pattern I chose has a very nice, simple and rhythmic character. These stars are 22 cm (8,5") across.

I have two available, one is as shown in the picture the other one looks exactly the same but the colours turn in the opposite direction, if you have a preference please let me know.

*bear in mind that coloured tissue paper is - although very pretty - not light fast and will fade over time, also even the slightest bit of moisture will make the colours run.
