When I made Sugar Dolphin, the original design had a bunch of crazy starfish on it. However, once the base was made of confetti, I nixed the starfish. It was just too much stuff going on in one sculpture. So..at the same time, I was making a plant that was going to represent a Chicago Hot Dog for a hot dog store on US 192. I wanted someone to see my sculptures on a busy road. Unfortunately, the hot dog place went out of business. So then I took the starfish, and put them on the sculpture with the tomato from the hot dog in a tornado pattern - so "Starmato" was born
Starmato lives in the garden at Kapp and Kappy B&B
