#185: Black Hills Spider

As with so many of my non-theme spiders, I get the idea for the whole spider from the one bead/piece I use for the body/abdomen of the spider. I work from there. I found this black and gold marbled and faceted wood bead in a bargain bin at my local bead store, and the idea of using all black and gold beads and then naming it after the Black Hills, which were notorious gold-hunting grounds, just popped into existence.

Materials: black and gold wood bead, clear amber bead, gold pearl bead, gold bead cap, black and gold bugle beads, black and gold seed beads, gold wire
