Arachne and her web


It is an art that is almost lost, but she has over 1,000 years of experience

But she has nailed it and is always on reference

She works eight times as much as a regular human

Each hand and leg with a specific purpose

For the art and designs she makes portrays her misery

Forever she will be a spider and liger in a shadow of embarrassment

For the Met Gala and the Oscars her garments can be seen on Beyonce and other celebrities

But for an artist a masterpiece is never finished

She still weaves the best work a designer can make

But when will it be enough for Athena herself?

But Arache still sews

and sews

and sews 

From dusk til dawn.

For those who need her work to be seen

Arachne is caught in a web and expresses it through the art that is almost lost
