Love them or hate them, August marks the start of spider season here in the UK and there's no avoiding it! So, what better excuse to make a creepy cute Goth doll with a spidery theme. I had lots of fun hand painting detail on this witchy button eyed girl, including a little eight legged friend hidden on her boot!
Historically, I've had a rather complicated relationship with spiders. When I was younger, I was terrified of them. However, since moving on to a boat, and living closer to nature, I've been forced to learn to coexist with them. I must admit, they are fascinating little creatures. Once I began taking a closer look, I became intrigued. I must admit now I love to research and read about them, as well as including them in my art.
