Beautiful job! My first thought was "is that a Brachypelma emilia?"

I guess that line is there. Either in the middle or as a part of the edge?

It's an internet famous spider. Been a while since I've seen it! You're one of today's lucky 10,000 if this is your first visit from the seven-legged spider

I have seen this spider often, but didn't know that there was this story behind it. Thanks for educating!

Please email the image of the spider back so I can add another leg
