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.
