Sharing A Great Work of Art

While browsing on Etsy.com (a site for hand-crafted, and one of a kind items) I discovered an amazing artist: fuzzypumpkin.



I asked her what inspired this unique work of art. She explained, "Well, I think jumping spiders are cute. My bf and others kept mistaking my jumping spider pieces for crabs...I didn't see the connection, i thought he was talking about fiddlers at first. Then he clarified."

Sharing a little about her professional life, and interests, she says, "As far as art goes, I just like random stuff. I like surreal scenarios...I've been doing this for some time now, but just only somewhat recently have been trying to make a living out of it. My full-time job currently is being the head cake decorator at a big company...while I like decorating cakes, the place I work at is more about mass-production and less about art."

Hibiscus

Previously, I experimented with fresh hibiscus flowers from my garden. The crabs completely ignored them at that time. Well, this year, the blossoms were very plentiful, so I tried them in the crabitat again. This time, I got very enthusiastic results! The crabs spent a lot of time munching on the fresh pale pink petals. The stamen, leaves, etc were ignored. The green base of one whole flower was removed and pushed to the back of the tank by the crabs.

Of course, we already know that hibiscus blossoms are safe. I'm just reporting on the results I personally had recently.
