Customizing: Spider from "Shaun the sheep"

[dieastra]

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.











Got even a reply from Aardman!



Here's the original:

Thank you! Gotta love Shaun the sheep! I hear they will make a second movie, I can't wait for it.

I'm sure you know the mentality of former East Germany and might have been the same in your country: The things you cannot buy, you have to make yourself!

I had friends over at the weekend and showed them my selfmade Winnetou and Old Shatterhand figures that I made as a teenager. They were most impressed.

Oh yes, I do remember very well. We learned to be very resourceful and you became the Master!
