My friend’s previous spider rug fell victim to her dog’s diarrhea and though she was willing to wait until All Hallow’s Eve and buy another, I thought that having to step from a nice warm shower onto a cold tile floor for two months would be barbaric.
So I made her this. The spiders are painted and the webs are embroidered.
I did an image search for ‘spider sihouette’
No printer so I traced them off the screen
I sketched them in chalk
Painted them with acrylic paint
Closer look
The tarantula, edged in brown
When paint dried I tossed it in the dryer to set the acrylic paint
Spiders need webs so I embroidered some
Webs on opposite corners
The finished product
In place

Nice gesture, lovely work, but don’t ever make me a spider anything!
