Very Creepy!
need I say more...
This was one heck of a project for me.
This little whipper snapper of a spider was soooo ugly and terrifying to me I can not for the life of me figure out why I chose him...other than to....
GROW, LEARN, TRANSFORM!
and
TO MEET MY NEW FRIEND
"Jane's Spider"
I decided to approach my fear of this guy by going vewy vewy slowly. One creation at a time. Eassssse into using the full kit, papers and spider from Coosty Creations.
So first, things I am comfortable with...
Mixed media
Color
Paint
Trinkets
and
Voila!
NEXT
something a little softer
Mr. Scarey Ass Spider still wasn't warming up to me nor me to him.
Get out the sprays
the drip inks
the cement
the caulking
and
Voila!
AHHHHH!
I see something emerging
something kinda cute
maybe not a he
maybe a mommy
with a helmet
riding a comet
with her baby spidey's on her back
ahhhh and pink chompers (NOT fangs!!!) shhhhh
I am going to name spidey
"Jane's Spider"
feeling better already!
Yup.
I'm ready.
One
Two
Three
Voila
Introducing the most funky Spider
this side of the cosmos
that is on that side
of the earth
using
Tada
drumroll
HUH?
So hop on over to OSAAT
Have yourself some fun
and who knows
you may find a "Jane's Spider" too!
Look under Coosty Creations if you'd like to find my Spider and Papers and see what you can come up with.

Oh Samara, each and every creation is just fabulous, from the ease me in gently single colour to the very funky multi coloured spider - yep Jane's Spider lol (get my hair done in 3 weeks with coloured extensions, think blue and purple/pink this year so although I would be a colourful as your fabulous creation I will look fine with IT sitting on my shoulder lol) . Oh I have felt so bad for you choosing the spider, not my fav creature but thank you for holding your breath, gritting your teeth, holding your hands steady and creating such wonderful artwork along with the cracking good story to go with them. Big hugs Jane xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI love the psychedelic spider! It sounds kind of like you've employed the Harry Potter/boggart idea to make the spider less scary, and as a result you've made something wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, as a card-carrying arachnophobia, I cannot say that you have endeared me to Jane's spider at all - except the psychedelic one made me laugh! Samara, you are amazing!!Three projects with it - such courage!Uuuuuggghh.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the art and the artist but not the spider!!
Wowzers! Some fabulous cards there. I hate spiders and bugs, so I don't think I could have done anything with that guy. You stepped up to the challenge and did fabulous! Maggie, DT Teamie
