The Lady in the Logo

Some of you might wonder why I feature a relatively old-fashioned looking picture of a girl with some type of sewing apparatus in my header and in my logo (well, apart from the fact that we 'Tailor make' our websites - gettit?)

Well, this particular lady has every right to be on every website!  

Let's go back into Greek Mythology to the legend of Arachne. The most well-known version of the tale is probably the one told by Ovid, in his Metamorphoses. arachne

Arachne was a very good weaver, but became so confident in her skills that she became arrogant and started to claim that her weaving rivalled that of the goddess Athena. Athena visited Arachne in the guise of an old woman, but Arachne persisted in her boasting and challenged Athena to a weaving competition.

They wove different stories into their cloths, but the upshot was that Arachne's weaving skills almost equalled that of Athena - but because of her pride Athena turned her into a spider.

Arachne is therefore the weaver of the first web!
