I apologize for the poor photo quality, however this image is not photo-manipulated. The blue color comes from a laser star projector (makes a great night-light) http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=hp&q=star+projector&hl=en&cid=8986145523605723322&ei=C71kTMCVK5-YiQTp9_jmAw&sa=title&ved=0CAcQ8wIwADgA#p Aside from that I used an X-Acto knife, some thin card stock and a bit of tape and thread.See original cut-outs and such here: http://rookery9.aviary.com.s3.amazonaws.com/4747000/4747283_b4f1.jpg
