#171: Hokusai Spider

The Great Wave of Kanagawa is a very well-recognized painting by Japanese artist Hokusai. It is so well-recognized that I'll bet everyone of you who reads this blog entry will have seen it before now. With the focal bead as the main inspiration for this spider, I tried to keep with the blues, creams, and even brassy-tan tones of the painting.

Materials: swirled glass bead, blue plastic flower bead, cream crackle bead, mottled blue and cream bugle beads, brass and peacock blue seed beads, silver wire
