This little spider is made of old crystals I collected from old vintage jewels. I used copper foil and soldered the legs and eyes. A little patience was required to assemble the little fellow but it was all worth it in the end. I have seen spider's webs done in stain glass as well and would like to try one this coming spring when I can take my work outside into the garage where I have more natural light. At the moment my studio doesn't accommodate the stain glass workshop.Spidey here was little enought to work in my studio since no glass cutting was required.
Still working on some of these tiny little books....there are so magical and make me think of Bilbo and Fairies.
More treasure chests are in the works and although I have a lending towards the ancient fossils I am going to make some jeweled ones as well.Will be exciting to see the end results.
