#207: Equestrian Spider

I had a small brass horse head and a small silver horseshoe charm, so I glued them together and painted them with a pewter finish. I love the lucky horseshoe/horse look and even went through a phase of looking for horse designs on fabric and jewelry pieces. I chose the darker leg colors to match the dark reds, greens, and browns of horse and hound paintings (which I have also seen on some very marvelous toile fabric). I think it would be neat to have a sun room or mud room done up with an equestrian theme.

Materials: metal horse and horseshoe charms; green glass bead; brown plastic bead; red wooden spacer; gray and green bugle beads; coral, green, and topaz seed beads, silver wire
