Somehow I’m reminded of the Futurama episode “300 Big Bucks” with a spider tapestry…

I would have been happier had they killed off the spiders

That’s awesome. I wonder how fragile it is? If it’s sticky at all?

Wow, the resulting fabric is very attractive, great thing is that the golden color is natural and shouldn’t ever wash out.

So is it as bullet proof as they say it is? Last I heard they were genetically engineering goats to “milk” a form of spider silk, because as you can see doing it the natural way is quite time consuming. Regardless, it’s a beautiful piece of work.
