#350 - Spiders


My third Handmade RR. I came up with the theme for this one. I work with spiders, and I'm trying to cure my arachnophobia.


From Alienne:


Alienne has drawing talent, and she painted the background with coffee.
I love this one!



From taebbig:


taebbig has sewn this on to a leather-ish fabric. It's so well made and I love the idea and the tiny googely eyes on the spider :D



                           
                            
Vicki made this great halloween themed card which has a crochet flower in the middle.
She also made  a bookmark with a picture of a beautiful piece of spider jewelery. I love it, and I am using it already


Sent to taebbig, VickiKamalova and Alienne







These cards were my first try with watercolors. I also tried to show the cute side of spiders.Although if I have to be a little biology-geeky about it, spiders with this kind of eyes (jumping spiders), do not actually make this kind of web. Purple card is painted on a page from a Danish translation of the book Catwatching (1986) by Desmond Morris, which has many of these nice cat drawings by Edward Coleridge

Conquering the Mountains



I made this card for a direct swap with medusa242, who wrote in her postcrossing profile that she likes pigeons. The background is from a Danish translation of Mountain Conquest by Eric Shipton: Bjergenes erobring 1967.
The pigeons are drawn by Claus Bering and I got them from a Danish elementary school book: 
Naturhistoriebog for 4. skoleår 1963
