Gossamer Silk, From Spiders Spun

Sep 29, 2009 22:52

Before I start about this, I want to say something. I'm afraid of spiders. Like, a lot. But I was able to read this whole thing without being afraid at all. And if you follow the link to read the article, there is a very small picture of the spiders on the second page. I honestly almost missed it.

I found this article via Craft.




This is a weaving, I guess you'd call it, done with spider silk. The whole thing is done in spider silk. That blows my mind. And it's not dyed, that's the natural color of the silk. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. And it's strong too. It's got no give and you can't break it by hand.

You should definitely read this article about it. You'll be amazed.

links, it are fact
