#106: Archival Dial M Spider

"Dial M for Murder" is one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films. You need absolute quiet to watch the movie so that you catch every important detail. It's a whodunit where the audience knows who and watches as the characters slowly put the pieces together. Grace Kelly's husband's plot to kill her goes wrong, and the unraveling of the mystery is what surprises the audience.

For this spider, I used a lot of themes from the movie and two different patinas with the already copper and antique gold finishes of the findings. I want the complete set of Hitchcock spiders to have a common finish with just a slight variation of color (i.e., Vertigo has an aura of orange, The Birds has blue, and Dial M has red).

Materials: antique gold scissors pendant, gold wrapped wire (painted copper), copper letter, vintage Avon phone charm, eye pin, antique gold gear finding, maroon bugle beads, red and gold seed beads, rusted wire
