In the forest and around the house where I was living, I searched for broken spiderwebs which I repaired using red sewing thread.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php">All of the patches were made by inserting segments one at a time directly into the web. Sometimes the thread was starched, which made it stiffer and easier to work with. The short threads were held in place by the stickiness of the spider web itself; longer threads were reinforced by dipping the tips into white glue.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php">The morning after the first patch job, I discovered a pile of red threads lying on the ground below the web. At first I assumed the wind had blown them out; on closer inspection it became clear that the spider had repaired the web to perfect condition using its own methods, throwing the threads out in the process</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php">My repairs were always rejected by the spider and discarded</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ninakatchadourian.com/img/D0071A8D-7806-4216-8BB9-401E30AF2E7A" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ninakatchadourian.com/img/A0CFBCF0-F0AA-4585-B0C9-324591306E43" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ninakatchadourian.com/img/5E991750-99C7-42FF-9C72-FA4BDCCBD209" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ninakatchadourian.com/img/D23ABEC4-3F93-4F56-981A-4E59159A3684" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php">teach a spider how to advertise</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/uninvitedcollaborations/spiderwebs.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ninakatchadourian.com/img/39A1BC15-0346-445C-8327-AA4C9447A59A" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DC7842C0-D67E-4DEE-8EDC-EB2553936E67/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
