![A starry firmament isn't easy to photograph. The camera tends to focus on what's behind it. Also, in person the background details don't distract like they do in photographs. So, too cluttered here, but I do like the rich red contrast to the green plants.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/vashtirama/636671372/Grid_Panel_Air_Plants_reds_small2.jpg)

![Another view, this time the crisp, clean contrast of the white cordonnet thread and dark grid is easy to see.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/vashtirama/636671351/Crochet_Constellation_Upcycled_Grid_600w_small2.jpg)

![Look at this view the air plants have from the windows of their cosmic condos! Now they know what it's like to grow up in the wonderful Great Lakes region.

![Grid panel as inspiration board, before I tried tying on wee crocheted stars. That blue motif was crocheted onto the grid, and it does look kind of promising, but I didn't enjoy it. Too fiddly.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/vashtirama/636671403/Upcycled_Gridwall_Panel_small2.jpg)
