Depicting scenes from the famous French victory over the English, this 10%-sized wool reproduction of the Bayeux tapestry is a beautiful accessory for a cold winters morning.
Keep warm and informed this winter.-- jonthegeologist, Nov 16 2005 The Original Bayeux Tapestry http://hastings1066.com/ [jonthegeologist, Nov 16 2005] Plains Indian Art http://www.tribalarts.com/feature/plains/...much of whcih bears a striking resemblance to the Bayeux Tapestry. Could be used for the American version. [DrCurry, Nov 19 2005] Comes complete with a insulated eye patch.-- skinflaps, Nov 16 2005 coming soon - the Shroud of Turin T-shirt-- po, Nov 16 2005 //famous French victory over the English// Famous only for its uniqueness. [Goes off to imagine a scarf 7metres long, but only 5cm wide...]-- coprocephalous, Nov 16 2005 Come to think about this, I certainly wouldn't wear this.Give me a scarf depicting the battle of Waterloo that I may wear.-- skinflaps, Nov 16 2005 Recreate the whole thing in cartoon format with several rows of panels, and you can fit it onto a scarf 2m long by, say, 20cm wide? Surpised Past Times haven't rushed this out to their shops already.-- moomintroll, Nov 16 2005 ties n scarves are quite different. Nice link though [murdoch]
[copro] 5cm wide means you can wrap it round lots and lots of times to use up the full 7m length. Any wider and it just wouldn't work so well.-- jonthegeologist, Nov 16 2005 But shouldn't it be a tapestry, not wool, or at least cross-stitch or something?-- DrCurry, Nov 16 2005 ... and created by nimble-fingered french women too.-- jonthegeologist, Nov 16 2005 [Ian] - What?-- wagster, Nov 17 2005 gawd, the suspense is killing me...-- po, Nov 17 2005 [Ian], we're all ready and waiting ...-- jonthegeologist, Nov 18 2005 Put your glad-rags on? Or is it the reference to Halley's Comet on the Tapestry?-- coprocephalous, Nov 18 2005 hey Copro! that's smart.-- po, Nov 18 2005 [po] category corrected.-- jonthegeologist, Nov 18 2005 //hey Copro! that's smart// My new jacket? Thank you - glad you like it.-- coprocephalous, Nov 18 2005 Now, when I was just a little boy, Standin’ to my daddy’s knee, My poppa said, son, don’t let the man get you Do what he done to me...-- wagster, Nov 18 2005 This scarf would go well with my Damien Hurst "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" shark shaped shoes...-- Minimal, Nov 18 2005 [IT] ditto (except it was a rather lovely autumn day) - easily one of the best historical attractions in France. The rest of the exhibition (IMHO) really sets the scene and tells the story, and then to *see* something that is the best part of a millennium old is pretty mind-blowing.-- coprocephalous, Nov 18 2005 It'd make expensive wallpaper.-- wagster, Nov 18 2005 Tragically, I don't think it would sell well here in America. My suggestion would be to change it to '1980 Winter Olymipc Hockey' scarf for sales in the USA.-- sleeka, Nov 18 2005 Actually, I was thinking those Indian story cloths (quite forgotten what they're properly called).-- DrCurry, Nov 19 2005 random, halfbakery
