From a press release from Keep Carbondale Beautiful:
Carbondale. The decorations at 406 North Poplar Street are attracting attention and have earned the home of Kris and Dorothy Schachel a Bright Spot Award from Keep Carbondale Beautiful. Dorothy is the artist in residence. Window designs were measured on graph paper and carefully cut to fit.
The spider in front is more than a product of her imagination: her research indicated that spiders have four to six eyes, so she used four ping-pong balls and painted them with fingernail polish to get the right color and irridescence. The legs are made of PVC pipe and designed so the body has a slight bounce. Their favorite compliment: "We been waiting all month to trick-or-treat this house."
