I figured they were machine sewn, too, but the buttons could
easily have been positioned over the ties to add some
strength if needed.

Ah yes, that was a challenge. When barelegged, they indeed remind one of
those spiders you mentioned, (Pholcus phalangioides, in German
'Zitterspinne', perhaps best translated with 'quiverspider'), when covered,
they hint exotic umbrellas or the Royal Palace in Brighton, maybe more than
starfish or jellyfish. All in all, very nicely done, and a good idea.
Reminds me of the good old days at Dusseldorf polytechnic.

Them's the ones! I knew they had to have a 'proper' name...
They also reminded me of various fabric roofed buildings, such as the
designer outlet in Ashford:

The other things that came to mind are pop-up kid's play tents. :)
And thank you. I'm too close and see the faults, but the third one will
be better!

Uh, where did I point out a fault? Was it the Royal Palace that gave you the
idea? I mean, OK, taste is in the eye of the beholder in that special case,
and Beau Brummel's influence obviously didn't carry far enough, but now it's
knighted by age and history, so there. I like the way the fabric falls
somewhat naturally, because otherwise I'd find those things a bit scary.
Like UFOs... (Did I tell you that they wanted to build a giant UFO for a new
Dortmund central station? Fortunatley for Dortmund, the financing didn't
work out.)

Oh, no implication that YOU were finding faults. It's ME that's just
seeing them!
The fabric is lovely... But I seem to be missing a panel right now!
AAARRRGGGHHH!
