I'm not afraid about (the local) spider.
Really, and I've just found spiderwebs without spider... and gossamer.
Pretty elastic and resilient gossamer.
So I've did research about how spiders can do this wonder.
I do this drawing of a spiders profile with mainly their gland at the back.

Spiders have a silk gland and seven spinneret at their abdomen. They produce different threads: stabile for protection over to elastics for the spiral to catch.
Isn't it amazing?!
Thank you very much, dear Renilde for thisweekly drawing challenge's theme!
I've learned a lot.
For more spider/web please visit her wonderful place.

I didn't know how the spiders do it either! Thanks for the research Ariane! It is really, really amazing hey? It is a wonder of nature...the spider web. I liked this post very much. Talk soon, hugs, Norma, xo
AntwortenLöschenAmazing creatures aren't they...
AntwortenLöschenlove to you Ariane : )
Yes, spiders are amazing - the strengh of their webs are stronger than steel (in relation to the size). Like your drawing a lot. But I think a few of the webs you've showed are from webs on drugs....

I love how you wandered around, camera in hand to take these very beautiful close-ups, they show the fragility but also the strenght and elasticity of cobwebs and thanks for explaining in a clear drawing Ariane and ofcourse Louise Bourgeois, xx

well, yeah, that is totally amazing, and thank you so much for your research, one does wonder. i mean, scared as i am of big spiders, i do love the little one's garden lace, and i also quite like the cross spiders, somehow they are mainly whimsical... dangling in their webs...
