A fun song.   ;-)
I think the best-known rendition was by Burl Ives.  (From 1957, according to
Wikipedia.)
But I have heard others.

I tried my own hand at it, but I think your approach is the more 
creative next step

I'm not sure how she does it. All the paper I have tried won't release 
the charcoal to the eraser very easily.

Yours looks pretty good, if not realistic. Needs a little fly with a 
man's head yelling, "help me!!" ;)

Neither do I. She must have used lots of erasers to reach this level of 
perfection :-)  Her work stands in sharp contrast to the next by Damien 
Hirst, have you noticed?

Are you talking about Hirst's "Controlled Substances"? I think anything 
stands out in sharp contrast to that. I'm not sure how a color key could 
have made it into an art exhibit...

The same thing occurred to me -- we're infested at work. Nice effect. 
Voronoi would look like Voronoi and less like a spider web. A spider 
which spun a perfect voronoi web would make me question my place in the 
food chain.
