Arachnid tape measure holster

Recommended Posts

I did this for a guy at work who's undergoing chemo. He's deathly afraid of spiders (the real ones), and I'm hoping this won't freak him too much and that he'll be able to wear it! I'll tell him it's not a real spider since it only has 7 eyes...

It's rough, and I knocked it out in an evening, but I saved the pattern in case I want to do a 'nuther one down the road. The holder pattern came out of Saddlers Journal (if not the last issue, the one before it), and the spider is sketched from a photo I found of a hobo spider. Missed an eye and the pedipalps, but hey it looks spidery to me!

Very nice.... The chemo is really some rough treatment, my wife had to go threw it. I hope he does as well as my wife. The spider will get him talking, for sure lol

I would not feel right if I did not post to this one. Cool concept. Pretty good for an evening project. The world should be decorated in spiderwebs. lol
