the spider and the fly

Ranked #16,984 in Home & Garden, #287,327 overall

my Rusty Spider and its prey, the rusty fly

just a little something I put together for an art display that never happened.
the deadly Shovelhead Spider, stalking a clueless rusty bottlecap fly

the spider has a legspan of about 5 feet, guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of anyone with arachnophobia.

the spider and fly are for sale in my flea market booth,
$300 and we load them into your truck, or strap them to the roof of you car if you like.
now wouldn't that look great going down the road !

    How sad that the installation didn't happen. Have you thought of offering the installation to a public institution? I would have thought that someone might be happy to have it on show, either that or perhaps a pest control company would pay for it. I wanted an imaginative way of keeping an indoor plant from flopping over but didn't want to use loads of canes etc. I have a metal spider's web with a spider in the centre and a couple of magnetic wasps on the web which is more or less what is holding the plant upright ... the plant is over 6 ft tall. 5* for your spider and fly, I think they're wonderful.
