Beaded Christmas Spider
Beaded Christmas Spider made from 8 and 12mm pearls , a pearl cap, buggle and seed beads strung on wire...
There is a story that goes with the spider and here it is :
Once upon a time on a Christmas Eve long ago a family in Germany was preparing
their home for a visit of the Christ child. Everything had been scrubbed and cleaned, and after the Christmas tree had been beautifully trimmed, the family went to bed.
While the family was sleeping, the little spiders who had be chased from their favorite nooks and crannies crept back to wonder at the tree's glittering beauty. They crawled on every branch to see each shining ornament, but alas, in their exitement, they forgot to stop spinning their webs. After their inspection, the tree was shrouded with cobwebs !
When the Christ child came and saw what had happened, He smiled at the thought of the little spiders wanting to see His tree. As He blessed it, He touched each web to turn it into gold ,and the tree shone with greater beauty than before.
Today, in many parts of the world each Christmas tree, to be complete, must have one (golden) spider,- Dearl Kniskern
