While I was writing about my studio spider and her web, I found that I actually know little about spiders. I looked up some general information when I was writing the piece, but writing, like drawing, brings a new awareness to the subject.
The more I think about and pay attention to the spider and her web, the more I want to know about her. And now I can find out not only by reading what other people already know, but by my own observations too.
I’ll be sure to share them.
From this angle, the web resembles dew-covered strings vibrating on a harp. I can imagine the spider plucking on those strings, creating her own deadly siren song. Maria, you inspire my imagination!
I was thinking harp too Barbara, but I didn’t make up the deliciously dark story that you did!
Watching your video of the spider web, I thought how beautiful that you filmed it showing the ripple of the breeze, like playing a harp. Gave a very different viewing than looking at the web “head on.”
Spiders are little “fiber artists” too! (Smile.)
I should have put “harp” in the title Barbara. It’s what a few of us were thinking anyway. 🙂
