From Laura Zindel Ceramics, as featured on bioephemera:
You are probably asking yourself why. Zindel’s explanation:
I hope that I can make art that a family member can buy to be handed down the line. Something bought on a whim, that becomes the platter for the turkey, or sits on the mantel. “Crazy old Uncle Larry bought that peculiar spider platter, and we just can’t seem to part with it”, I would like to be apart of that.
There’s also beetles, snakes and cicadas, oh my.

Zindel’s not thinking straight - most women (and even some men) will unwrap the present, scream in horror, drop it and smash it.
Next time try a wallabee or butterfly…

A wallabee? Is that the hybrid of a wallaby and a bee? Because that does sound scary.

Are they like the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you…?

Is that a quote from somewhere? Bit lost with that one. I was thinking along the lines of a giant jumping bee with a pouch. As we all were, I’m sure.

Sorry - The Simpsons prevails. I have such a small mind that the only quotes have permeated my shrinking grey matter are Simpsons quotes. That and movie quotes. And some Seinfeld. Actually, more than I thought…

That does indeed sound like a Simpsons quote. There have indeed been so may good quotes from that show.
I, for one, welcome our new Simpsons quoting overlords …

I have a strange spider toy with glowing red eyes that crawls around on the floor. People often react to it as though it was a real spider. I’d love to see their reaction to those bowls.
