Teddy.  I picked up this bear from a second hand shop and added some anatomy (stomach, brain and Kidneys in the back).  He had a tag on this leg that had his name in pen.  I think he was a much loved teddy.

Six Legs.  Spider friend on the back veranda.  I didn’t see her boyfriend until I uploaded the photograph. She’s been protecting our veranda for a few months.

Hookworms!  Love these little guys. They’re looking for their forever home, will it be your intestine?

Collection of Gall Bladders, Jar and two options for the brooch.  These guys are so popular at the moment.  Love making them!

This St Andrews Cross Spider was in a web in our yard for all of Summer and she has thousands of babies!  It seemed like she had a new green egg sack every week.

In late May I found her all dried out and dead in her web.  I left her there for a couple of days and then thought I’d like to pop her into a jar to wear as a necklace.  I’ve collected a Chrysalis top from a plant in our yard (I followed a creature from Caterpillar to Butterfly, though did not see if emerge) and wear that so thought it would be nice to have another creature who was a fixture in the yard for a time to wear.

She was quite a bit too large to squeeze into the jar opening so I kept setting her aside and thinking about it.  Unfortunately last night some creature got to her and ate the body, leaving me a pile of legs and a small part of head.  oh no!  Though she is now safely sealed in a jar for me to wear.
