No Spiders Were Harmed in the Making of this Tapestry

Before you click through, how many years, dollars, and spiders to you think it would take to make an 11’ x 4’ woven tapestry? Here’s a sample:

That gold is the natural color of the golden orb-weaving spider’s silk (Nephila genus). Currently on display at the American Museum of Natural History. (via kottke)

Hi

I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's mostly links to stuff I find interesting (here are some of my favorites), but some stuff is mine. I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I felt bad so I gave it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which is gone, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.
