Amazing textile made from spider silk

I saw this article on Gimundo about an amazing textile woven from spider silk. Each fiber in the piece consists of 96 strands of spider silk and over a million spiders were used in the gathering of the silk. Don't worry, though. The spiders were caught, milked and then released back into the wild. Check out the page and video on the American Museum of Natural History page here.

Woah

So I haven't posted here in forever...I guess that woul dbe because I got a "real" job and haven't had time to devote to Nerdbomber.

We will be at the Funky Finds Spring Fling Saturday, April 25th for everyone in the Ft. Worth Area.  I don't feel ready, but it's a little late to be worrying about it at this point.  We're going to have fun and roll with it!  See you there!

It's a new year and we're hoping to do a lot with Nerdbomber in the coming months. I'm adding new items to the shop, so please keep checking in.

We're also expanding out to other online venues. You know about our Etsy shop. I've blogged about our shop on Funky Finds, too. Recently I opened a shop on Artfire, so we'll see how that goes. Each shop has some slightly different items, so look at each one. Each shop offers different ways to shop and different features. It'll be interesting to see how it goes this year.

Also, our independent website is up. For the time being it is just a hub for the existing sites we're on. But one of the goals we have for the year is to have it expanded out to include all our online shops and to include more information about us.

There are a lot of new things coming up, so be on the lookout!
