    mingling, I want to hear more about the spider webs.
    What do you spray them with? And you said you mount them somehow?
    I love the delicacy in which a spider spins its webs. They are very pretty, like a snowflake.
    Please tell me more :)

    Making of a spiderweb picture.

    You will need:
    Can of clear, silver, sell best but any colour you want really, of spray can paint.
    < tip, try on garbage webs 1st, little ones around the house as you will look for the biggest un damaged ones to sell>

    Glass, I bought mine in a stained glass shop, many pretty patterns here.
    Wood molding, found in home depot, lumber seller, get a miter box save money, later you will learn to make from twigs. sells better and with simple cuts and dremel you can go money free.


    Later as you get comfy, Look at doll house lights, dimmer lights that change colour, and learn to candle melt silk flowers.

    After you learn how far to hold the can of paint so you don't damage the web, blowing so it pushes the rounds on top of each other bad as ruined if happens, wait a few min. and cut it away from the anchors, I used cardboard to lay it as it was when possible, easy if you can find in grass, you need to learn how to set up the spider, but that is advanced if you want will give.

    Look out for the host some spices will try to bite, the bigger spider the better, but always know were he is.
    Frame:

    Basic:
    pressed, shadow box.
    Pressed is just two pieces of glass place web in and frame it, stained glass paint works nice here as it is like the glass colour but see thru. just do one glass back with it sandwich and sell.
    Shadow box, big money maker, here some touches can really make it pop.
    A product they have out now makes dew drops on flowers, old way nail polish, let it dry in drop on tooth pick and glue to parts of web -.- use the new dew drop paint, life is so much easier with that.

    After you add the drops on the web, silk flowers a must to learn. Just need scrap silk bin in fabric store, haunt it 50 dollar yard stuff can be gotten in the off bin for a few bucks. You will get hundreds of pedals from a end of bolt scrap piece.

    Cut in pedal shapes, lots and lots. Now the hard part get a candle, place pedal near the flame be careful not to rush, don't burn it just melt it so it will be a little stiff and sealed. ~edit to add, melt the edges of flower pedal all the way around only~ add as many pedals as to your liking, then add furry<fabric fur> flower center both sides if all glass or one if just mounting on black background.
    Advanced, learn bead flowers, looks sweat.
    Use wide molding for frame, place web on back glass, use plastic sheet and mount in middle of glass back and front. I leave 2 inches between glass to add items with the web in middle of the 2in. As you get better no need for plastic sheet for the web you will be able to slowly glue the web ends to the box itself.

    If mounting to the frame remember you have to use only top,one side as you will need to add glass. As you get better with the channels the glass sits in you can add back right away add web do dads and use 3 sides to glue the web and slide the glass into the frame having only top or side front open.

    Do-dads.

    Use a product called pearl ex, a fine power the sparkles, real nice on the web can even sell plain with that.
    Orient flower settings work vary nice, pedals that decrease in size as they fall down the web. Your making them so easy to have.
    Lights, having three boxes with low dimming lights looks real good on the wall.

    The list goes on. but the webs will grab people. training your wild spiders to spin as you want is easy and if you want that let me know.
    Nice walks, and make a profit as the 8 legged pests are everywhere, and webs are easy to get.

    Learn your dremel, hand grinder, as no need for molding ether, tree branches look better more nature and free.
