The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

This collection of fifteen papers ranges from the author's initial interest in the Tapestry as a source of information on early medieval dress through to her startling recognition of the embroidery's sophisticated narrative structure. Developing the work of previous authors who had identified graphic models for some of the images she argues that not just the images themselves but the contexts from which they were drawn should be taken in to account in 'reading' the messages of the Tapestry. In further investigating the minds and hands behind this the largest non-architectural artefact surviving from the Middle Ages she ranges over the seams the embroidery stitches the language and artistry of the inscription the potential significance of borders and the gestures of the figures in the main register always scrutinising detail informatively. She identifies an over-riding conception and house style in the Tapestry but also sees different hands at work in both needlecraft and graphics. Most intriguingly she recognises an sub-contractor with a Roman source and a clownish wit. The author is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture at The University of Manchester UK a specialist in Old English poetry Anglo-Saxon material culture and medieval dress and textiles. | The Bayeux Tapestry Collected Papers

Tapestry Lawns Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers

Tapestry Lawns Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers

Swathes of the human world are covered in ornamental grass lawns; they are the single most commonly encountered horticultural feature on the planet. Unfortunately they are now often viewed as resource-draining green deserts due to the lack of plant and animal diversity the need for frequent mowing and watering and addition of lawn greening products to keep them looking at their best. It is a venerable horticultural feature that is essentially frozen in time and with few alternatives to whet the appetite the lawn has languished in its current grass-only format for decades. Until now. Tapestry lawns are a new practically researched and timely development of the ornamental lawn format that integrates both horticultural practice and ecological science and re-determines the potential of a lawn. Mown barely a handful of times a year and with no need for fertilisers or scarifying tapestry lawns are substantially richer in their diversity of plant and animal life compared to traditional grass-only lawns and see the return of flowers and colour to a format from which they are usually purposefully excluded. Tapestry Lawns: Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers traces the changes in the lawn format from its origins to the modern day and offers information on how and why the tapestry lawn construct is now achievable. It provides guidance on how to create and maintain a tapestry lawn of your own and champions the potential benefits for wildlife that can follow. Features Accessible and informative to all types of readers from academic to amateur Includes a refined and tested set of useful tapestry lawn plants Contains step-by-step instructions for creation and management methods of grass-free lawns Illustrated in full colour If you have ever thought about mowing your lawn much less making it much more colourful and wildlife friendly then this book will inform and guide you to create a perfect grass-free lawn. | Tapestry Lawns Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers

In natural pure jute , Ferm Living has created the Harvest Wall Rug. The tapestry fits well in the living room, kitchen, bedroom and office, and will undoubtedly add a warmth that can give warmth to even the most monochrome white decor. The model is extremely tactile, and the irregularities in the surface pattern make the design alive and organic. At the bottom of the rug, there are small fringes, and at the top, the rug is mounted on a beech wood rod, which gives the rug a pleasant airiness. If the carpet gets dirty, Ferm Living recommends that you wipe the carpet with a damp cloth.
