Orb Weaver Spider Ornament

£95.00

Sterling silver model of the Orb-Weaver Spider – a spider commonly found in British homes (particularly mine!)

He, or she, is hand modelled approximately to the correct size of the actual spider. Looks perfect on his own – or you could pair him with another mini beast. But would he be prey or predator?

Description

Inspiration for my Orb Weaver Spider Ornament

Spiders were always going to have a place in my collection. They finally made the grade when an Orb Weaver Spider very usefully posed for me in my house in an earring-safe position! The spider jewellery has since attracted a lot of attention – but sometimes you just need a spider for it’s own sake. So here is the Orb Weaver Spider Ornament.

I’m pretty good with most animals but spiders have always scared me. This is despite being brought up in a house with VERY BIG spiders. However, I remember a nature programme where an international spider expert was asked how he had become interested in spiders. He admitted that, in his desire to quell his own arachaphobia, he learnt as much as possible about these amazing creatures – and became completely hooked. Maybe there is hope for me yet (- though I should add that my spider and fly earrings are, in fact, my favourite earrings).

He is fully modelled on both sides and has as delicate legs as I thought I might be able to get away with in silver. Doesn’t move by himself – so safe for arachnophobes!
