Along Came a Spider

This is for the challenge at Collage Obsession called Inspired by Fairytales and Children's Literature. I hope nursery rhymes count, as I'm sure this one has been published somewhere in a children's book.

I had some fun with this. The spider is from my garden, but the original was a bit blurry, so it became a black spider. The curds and whey were a pile of white beans that I mangled until I felt it resembled curds and whey. I created the wallpaper in Macromedia Freehand, because I still have it on my computer and I'm still better with that program than I am with Adobe Illustrator.

Yeah, I'd leave the spider to finish off my bowl. Of course, I don't like cottage cheese anyhow.

Update:

I found a few flaws in the above picture that I couldn't live with, even though I told myself no one else will see them. I could see them! So, here it is again, corrected to my satisfaction. Can you spot the changes?

  12. A great image, focusing on the spiders and the 'curds and whey' rather than Miss Muffet. I love the image, but have to keep my eyes from the spiders, even though they are so well done. I looked and looked at your updated image, but I can't see any difference - no flaws in either!

  13. LOL! I'm glad most of you missed the flaw. Now I know the next time I can leave them and not worry about it.
