An Artiste's Perogative

We all know what spiders look like, right? They look like this.
Or this.
  
Or do they? Maybe I can change my mind. I am an artiste, now, right? Maybe they look like this.
 Upside-down looks a little more sinisterer...er...
 
 
All those creepy legs...
  
 
Well, this guy looks a little less creepy than the other guy.
 
A little less creepy in a Sebastian sort of way.
 
 
And he's definitely rocking a blond flat-top now.
 
 
 
Kinda like my dad back in 1962.
 
 
...only with darker eyes.
 
This is what a dead spider looks like.
 
 
Or maybe it's this.
 
 
Or maybe that's a reindeer.

  1. Stephanie - how are you cutting up your books? Is there an easier way than taking them to Office Max?

  4. Hi, Yilsa. It's been a long time since I made these, and I gave them away, so I don't have them to look at. I got the instructions for the base spirals from the book, The Repurposed Library - https://www.amazon.com/Repurposed-Library-Craft-Projects-Books/dp/1584799099. I can't remember if there was something inside the legs or not. A hanger maybe? Sorry I couldn't be more help.
