He picked up the remains of the spider, winced a little, then picked up the tweezers to pull the hairs off.
"I'll just put a few in, yeah?" Because picking out hairs was a little difficult from a teeny tiny spider. Theo picked them off and placed them on a small plate that he dragged into the center. There.
"Yep." West agreed watching the smoke with interest.
"You reckon the smoke is from the potion or from the heat?" He put the icepop in and began stirring clockwise. With his other hand he picked up the little plate and tipped the spider hairs in there.
"Its bubbling too." He noted, thinking that was cool. As he stirred with the ice pop, the potion began turning a lighter yellow-green.
How long to stir for though? West figured until the ice pop melted would be good.
West tried to focus on what they were doing, hoping the intent would help and all.

Add water to the cauldron. Add one piece of hard butterscotch candy. Turn the heat to medium and let the candy melt slowly. Pluck the stingers off the nettles and add them to the cauldron, it will turn green. Alternate adding the sliced caterpillars and roughly chopped Daisy root, the green shade will grow darker. Crush the spinnerets together with the peppermint. Add those, and it will bubble a little. add the spider hairs and stir clockwise with the ice pop until melted, the potion will turn yellow-green.
