About this Product
Gourd Halloween Decoration
Silly, scary Spider
Made with an egg shaped gourd, paper clay and paper mache
This primitive, pale arachnid measures approximately 6" x 8" x 7.5" and is a fun decoration for the Halloween season.
Painted a rustic yellow/orange, he would be very comfortable peeking at you from a display shelf, lounging in a window or sitting on your dining room table.
Note that some gourds have loose seeds inside of them, so you can shake the gourd and it rattles. The seeds in this guy are all tightly adhered inside the skin, so no rattle.

Meet the Maker
Hello, my name is Heidi and welcome to my shop.
Everything here is handmade and I often reclaim unused items, and/or create with bits of nature, such as leaves, twigs, or bark.
For nearly 10 years, I've dyed and printed with local plants and have enjoyed the mystery of how these plants, from my backyard, color fabric and paper in such an unpredictable and seemingly magical way.
In addition to printing from nature on fabric and paper, I use gourds from the garden, old Christmas bulbs, and a multitude of used items as part of a unique ornament or object. Mixed media creations, these turn out to be, often with paper clay or paper mache added to complete them. Oh, and I love to crochet, especially granny squares.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you see something that makes you smile!
How it’s Made
Started with a Gourd
Paper clay was added to a gourd to form the spider head and body. After some drying time, wires were attached for legs and paper mache was used to cover the silly spider. More drying time and this goofy guy was painted and sealed. Boo!
