This was the most difficult memorial custom I’ve ever done in my life. No resin encapsulation. Meticulously placed into glass, then soldered. I used my macro lens so you could see this little baby jumping spider’s eyes, even the hairs on his head!
His name is Phineas, and he was well loved, and a wonderful spirit guide to his best friend.
Jumping spiders are amazing creatures, who are smart, even affectionate. This particular one was a wild one, and the fact that it lived with its friend/owner for many months, says so much about how they co exist with us, and how well taken care of it was. I’m so happy I was able to honor Phineas in this manner.
