Decided to made a pin based on this scene from the Brady Bunch; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh9dRcga8YE Has a spider and Tiki 3D printed and painted them up. Arranged the pieces and drew an outline around them. I figured the best way was to embed the pieces in a clear resin base. I rolled a slab of ceramic clay (because that's what I had around and I am familiar with it) and cut a hole in it for the base. I put it on a sheet of Styrofoam, lined it with Saran Wrap and stuck 3 jewelry pins in it. Poured about 1/4" of clear resin in the "mold" and let it harden The resin base is a little more visible than I had hoped but I like it.
