Another fossil brought to life! This beauty is a Crinoid (Sea Lily). The longer feather-like stitches on the "arms" are created using a form of Tunisian crochet, where many stitches are gathered on the hook, secured and then "dropped off" the hook a couple at a time, somewhat akin to knitting. These arms are crocheted around plastic tubing to provide some structure and prevent them from simply curling up on themselves.
