Hello Arne ! Yes, you are correct! The @ symbol was incorporated into a clever spider with the addition of some legs, and many who travel to big lace gatherings wear this easily identifiable symbol to show they are members of Arachne.
Jacqui Southworth, in the UK, designed a brooch and posted her design to her website. I've checked, and it is still there, if you'd like to use her design! http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/gallery/honbrch.htm I'm envious of all who will enjoy the Tonder festival this year!! One of these days, I hope to be able to enjoy a trip like that!!
