This is a recycled bottle cap which has been repurposed into a miniature habitat (a Habit-cap!). This design features a Common Starfish which has been handmade from polymer clay and set in liquid polymer clay.

The bottle cap is pink with the Strongbow archer motif, and measures approx. 3 cm wide. The keyring features a metal alloy D-snap hook for easy attachment. The total length of the keyring is approx. 7.5 cm.

Common Starfish (Asterias rubens) is the most common species of starfish in the Northern Atlantic. Common starfish are a popular rockpool species as they are easily identified by their colour and are usually between 10 and 30 cm wide but can grow as large as 50cm. In shallow coastal waters, common starfish can gather in groups of up to 100 animals but the reasons for such gatherings are still unclear.
