I made a spider plush a bit ago. Here is the process.
I began by cutting out the main body and applying the eyes.
After the eyes were attached, I went ahead and stitched the body together with holes for the palps, chalicerae, and legs. Then, I started on making the legs.
Once the legs were made and applied, I moved on to making the chalicerae and palps.
Then I applied the palps, made the opisthosoma, then stuffed and stitched it together.
His name is Shamiek. I named him after the voice actor for Miles Morales in Spiderverse. This is to stick with the theme of naming my spiders after Spiderman actors.
Image ID: a close-up picture of a spider. It’s looking up at the person taking the photo with its head tilted. It’s mostly mottled brown with two iridescent green patches on the front of its head. It has 4 round eyes, with the center pair being larger than the outer two. You can kind of see a silhouette of a person in the reflection of its eyes. It has little tufts of hair all of its body, with two larger tufts on either side of its head. Frankly, it’s adorable. /End ID

I am literally violently sobbing over Howie the Crab at 4:33 in the morning, I'm glad Howie got to die comfortably and with dignity. I stand by that all animals should be treated with kindness, no matter what that animal is. And frankly it makes me mad how so many animals are treated, like Stingrays, Crabs and a majority of fish. They aren't as cuddly as your typical house pet but they are still living creatures and they deserve to be treated as such. I feel like this shouldn't even be a thing that needs to be said but the way so many people treat non-mammal animals is disgusting.
