Spider Woman took from the earth red, yellow, white and black clays and set about creating people..

Spiders are traditionally associated with the attraction of  money and killing them with the loss of wealth. Carspider reminded me that it was time to pick up the threads of my studio practice from where I left them in the Autumn as well as those of my Tuscan Dream....
