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.

Comes complete with a insulated eye patch. |

coming soon - the Shroud of Turin T-shirt |

//famous French victory over the English// Famous only for its uniqueness. [Goes off to imagine a scarf 7metres long, but only 5cm wide...] |
|
|
Come to think about this, I certainly wouldn't wear this.Give me a scarf depicting the battle of Waterloo that I may wear. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
But shouldn't it be a tapestry, not wool, or at least cross-stitch or something? |
|
|
... and created by nimble-fingered french
women too. |
|
|
gawd, the suspense is killing me... |
|
|
[Ian], we're all ready and waiting ... |
|
|
Put your glad-rags on? Or is it the reference to Halley's Comet on the Tapestry? |
|
|
//hey Copro! that's smart// My new jacket? Thank you - glad you like it. |
|
|
Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standin to my daddys knee,
My poppa said, son, dont let the man get you
Do what he done to me...

|
This scarf would go well with my Damien Hurst "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" shark shaped shoes... |
|
|
[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. |
|
|
It'd make expensive wallpaper. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Actually, I was thinking those Indian story cloths (quite forgotten what they're properly called). |
