1 out of 5 starsNothing like the picture or description. I could have done this myself, very expensive for what you get.

I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with your purchase. The item I made for you used exactly the same pattern and paper that was described in the listing. The photo of the window star in the listing is just like the window star I sent to you with the bright afternoon sun shining through it. The brighter the sunlight - the more translucent the star. The cost for a handmade product includes the supplies; my time for creating the window star and going to the post office to ship the item; shipping materials; and postage. I believe it is a fair price considering all these factors. Many people do make the window stars themselves and I would encourage you to do that if that is of interest. It's a fun and enjoyable craft; and supplies and patterns are readily accessible.

About harvestmoonbyhand
-
Being surrounded by nature is quite an inspiration! This is the back part of the land that Harvest Moon by Hand is on.
-
Harvest Moon by Hand is located on a ten-acre farm that has a variety of gardens (flower and vegetable) and trees.
-
The weather is extreme - from 100+ degrees in summer to -30 below zero in the winter. This is frost on the window.
-
This is one of the many beautiful sunsets at Harvest Moon by Hand.
-
Equally as beautiful as the sunsets, are the sunrises. This is a view of a sunrise with the pine trees by the driveway.
Harvest Moon by Hand Opens on Etsy
When Ann's (Harvest Moon by Hand's owner's) daughters were younger, she took them to a weekly program at the local Waldorf school. The windows were decorated with a variety of the sun catchers, and she thought they looked so beautiful with the sunlight shining through them.
While the children were playing, the parents would attend a “class” about different topics. One session was focused on creating a calming and beautiful home environment for children. She immediately thought of the stars and how they could enhance different rooms in the home.
In February 2008, Ann opened an account on Etsy after reading about it in the local paper. In Spring 2008, she began listing items in Harvest Moon by Hand's shop. Being a part of Etsy has been wonderful. It has given Ann an opportunity to create and sell her work to people around the world.
