Ephemeral textiles

In the shade and the dew, two spinners have set up in my front yard. One's specialty is a gauzy silk tablecloth, on which she sits like a lady on a picnic. The other has a beautiful net to cast for lawn shrimp. Both of their beautiful spun and woven creations catch the droplets of morning dew so beautifully, but they'll be gone by noon.
