I am doing a piece I call "Star Catcher". But am having a hard time trying to find the right material for the net.
I am playing with the concept of the Native American dream catcher, but adding things like the Zodiac symbols.
What I need to do is find a net like material that is strong enough to hold the clay figures I made, yet be wispy to match and blend with the overall look and theme.
Any suggestions on a net like material?

Watched a video about how a spider builds a web. Found it great inspiration for weaving. Have you considered that approach?

Bad enough all the trouble the Scorpio symbol is giving me. I can't count how many times I have had to make one, fire it and have it break right throw the middle! Can't figure out that one at all!

Good luck!
