Customizing: Spider from "Shaun the sheep"

Some months ago we watched the "Shaun the Sheep" movie with my mother and she commented on how she loved the spider and wants one. We often jokingly say things like that, but I made her one for Christmas!
I used an old cellulose ball from a stash that my grandfather had given me back in my East Germany childhood like 30 years ago. Some wire I had left from making the Gotham police precinct railing, and the rest is Milliput.

Not normally a fan of spiders, but this one is awesome! :)

Thank you! We have come to love spiders in our family - not real ones of course, but plushy ones ;)
I once gave my mother a fridge magnet with a fluffy spider and the affection kinda grew from there. And this one from the Shaun the Sheep movie really was too funny to look at.
