#181: Strawberry Spider

Have you ever seen those really tiny red spiders before? My brother and I used to call them strawberry spiders, but they're actually spider mites. Gross. I was happier when I thought it was a spider. Of course, my beaded spider is out of the ordinary. I used metallic color paints to make the body of the spider shine as much as the legs, and now it looks surprisingly like a real strawberry!

Materials: strawberry eraser, green and red metallic paints, clear coat, vintage red plastic bead, marbled pink and seafoam green bugle beads, hot pink and yellow seed beads, gold wire
