#38: Seuss Spider

I really wanted to make this spider for yesterday, Dr. Seuss's birthday, but the fish bowl piece didn't arrive in the mail until yesterday. The Cat in the Hat is my favorite Dr. Seuss book. As a child, I probably thought the fish in the pot could loosen up a bit, but as a mother, he's my favorite character. I love reciting his lines to my girls in a very serious, wound-tight sort of way: "He should NOT be here when your mother is out!" And I think it's hilarious that Dr. Seuss chose a fish to keep the order in the house.

Materials: miniature globe, clay, resin, red and white bugle beads, blue glass seed and E beads, silver wire
