I should be making more Bar & Bat Mitzvah cards tonight. Instead, I made another spider, this one with hairy legs. Here he is next to the spider I made last night:
Here he is up close:
I have named him Harry. Harry Spider. I think he has way more appeal with hairy legs, don't you?
Then I looked at the collection I had of other punched-out parts in the opposite colors (each photo corner punch punches a large and a small, so you need to punch 4 of each to get 4 big ones, leaving 4 small ones, and visey versey in the other color.) What to do, what to do ... So I made two more spiders, and I used a different adhesive on each one. Hey, if I am gonna play, it might as well be educational, right? So here they are:
A fuzzy herd of spiders. I really need to get that camera to focus, too. Or maybe it is operator error; just maybe. The two in front have the opposite color legs as the ones in the back - black on green. And I have no photo corners left over! Yay!
For the one on the left I used Mono Multi for the adhesive, and for the one on the right I used liquid glue, largely because it was out, and we all know I never put anything away. This is what happens when you use the liquid glue and then try to assemble the spider before everything is dry:
You get a sorry, gooey mess. So if you love liquid glue, do yourself a favor and let the glue dry before you try to assemble, okay?
Then I was further distracted when I walked past the SU scallop square punch that was still out from the last workshop ... and I got a hair-brained idea to make this:
It is supposed to be Frankie. I have seen several versions of Frank made out of other stuff, but this was, well, you know: already out and readily available. I think if I practice some more I might get it to work.
They are too cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the use of googlie eyes. You can't go wrong with googlie eyes.
Your spider needs Nair!
ReplyDeleteI like Frankie- he has potential.
SO cute. You have magic! This is magically cute! Who needs focus when you have hocus pocus! ;O)
ReplyDeleteI love these little spiders! I'm going to have to steal this idea. And maybe put a pumpkin next to them!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
These are darling! If this is what you do when you have no focus, I would love to see what you make when you DO have focus!
