Coral Beads#2
Work in progress, having trouble with tension using copper wire, considering using red fishing line and setting in a frame to work and create a better web shape, will also hang fishing hooks and weight at the bottom with containers such as old milk bottles filled with melted sugar or granules of sugar. The web will also have melted sugar on it as sugar cane is grown in Edo state. The relation of sugar and sticky excretion spiders use to trap their prey. The containers are used over and over in Edo state, there's always a need for them.

Coral beads
Very excited about my final project on people trafficking. Started threading beads onto silver plated copper wire today for a big spiders web, hopefully it will also take on a fishing net feel, will be placing fishing hooks and placing feathers and other objects that could be captured say in barbed wire.
