[@ulrikejackson_kreativ]

I loved the elegance of the spread, the subtle spiderweb on the muslin with the handmade twigs. Delicate and lovely work.

[@EssieRuthMakes]

Thank you so much - I am definitely a 'tiny details' gal. Sometimes to my detriment, but I can't fight it 😂

[@user-yo4gt1wn5s]

12:46 "a through line" - so like a thread! This is a beautiful tribute to Arachne's story

[@EssieRuthMakes]

Exactly! I love words like this with so many metaphorical tangents to follow - you never know where you're going to end up 🙂

[@denisehennix]
