I found it this way: Spiderweb design
This is the first design I did for my "I found it this way" Floral art demonstration at the Capilano Flower Arranging Club .
As the temperature starts to cool down here in Vancouver and we are heading into early autumn, we are all starting to spend more time indoors, we looked at nests crafted outdoors.
A spider uses his own body to measure the size of the web he builds
Spiders spin both sticky and non sticky strands so that they can move around on the web.
Dense hairs on the spider's body creates a non stick barrier
After spinning the web, the spider waits next to the web for it's prey
Spiderwebs are rich in Vitamin K, which is responsible for blood clotting and if applied to a wound helps healing and reduce bleeding.
Every week I add a new design with related tutorials. Be sure to subscribe to receive an email notification with design inspiration.
This is my ongoing creative workbook to research and capture design projects and techniques. You will mostly find ideas for floral art but I will also include some other projects such as gift packaging, cards and even cake decorating with a few lifestyle projects arranged in between.
Everything you see in this workbook was designed, made and photographed by me, unless specific credit is given to another designer.
