I can't recall seeing anything like that before.  Is there a crack there?  I know they'll spin their webs at cracks and anywhere air flows through, (a good way to check your insulation in your house). 

 

At any rate, that's a great photo, clean and sharp with tiny details of something I never remember seeing before.

I don't think this is to catch anything. It's for protecting the young

I think Bengan is correct.
I guess it is a nest for placing the eggs

I don't think…

 

I think…
I guess…

 

… and I don't know. So I went and googled to see 100s+ pict

of eggs, clusters and nests and even that very spider but none
similar to mine… is it so unique?  :o

I don't know, all the spider nests I've seen are spun into little cocoons, but that would make a perfect defense for a cocoon...

 

Maybe spider art! :P
