Meet Boris.

[petskin]

A great big tarantula with fuzzy legs and a big heart.



He`s such a handful with 8 bendy legs and 6 shiny eyes.

Boris!! He is awesome!

(but I now have The Who's 'Boris the Spider' stuck in my head! )

[Belladune]

He's great!!!!!  I love his creepy cuteness!

[jexxican]

He is so big! Armature? Needle felted? Can you quantify his size for us? Specs, please!

[petskin]

Thanks guys! 
He's needle felted on a wire frame and measures about 8" across with legs straightened out

I loved making him as I am afraid of spiders and was surprised to see such a cute sweet creature come out ... I think I'm a little less scared now :-)

I'm not sure if I'm horrified or overcome by adorableness...

Either way, I'm impressed with your needle-felting

[hayleylujah]

Creepily realistic. Good job though.

[jexxican]

Very impressive. I forgot to say that last time. I like him a lot! He reminds me of a toy I used to wear on the shoulder of my uniform when I worked at Taco Bell in High School, but way cooler.

[LimeRiot]

Eeeep! I'm terrified by spiders but I can't help but be very impressed with this. You did a great job.

[petskin]

Thank You all! <3
I must admit he`s the first spider I`ve ever wanted to cuddle with -  no matter how fuzzy they are, they still freak me out
