Every year, my mom does a study of monarch butterflies with her class. They watch them grow from eggs, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. I couldn't resist making one in miniature.
The top of the jar is covered with a bit of shear white stocking. If you pull it apart a little, this stuff also makes very realistic cobwebs.

I love this creation! It reminds me of my childhood. My mother was a teacher also (second grade) and often had "gifts" from her students on her desk. Many times it was a cocoon or caterpillar that the children were awaiting it's transformation. Oh, good memories! Thank you for sharing.

It's wonderful, and thanks for the tip re the white stockings. I've been puzzling about how to make spider webbing.
