Hello Manuela! Thanks so much for the link! It is fascinating, and I
enjoyed all of the pictures... except the one of the hands holding
those spiders! Sorry, it seems when they're that big, I have my share
of arachniphobia!!

who... BTW... owes my entire journey in lacemaking to the
encouragement of Tamara! She lives about an hour from me, but it's over
the mountain, so we don't see much of each other.

I used to work with super fine thread, best thing was unspun silk. So
I always wondered just HOW can they work with spider silk. So of
course my friend had to show me the picture of a spider silk work of
art. It is not lace, "just" woven. But I at least will have to make a
pilgrimage to V&A for this:

Spider silk, just imagine how breakable it is!
