  • why is The Crossing Scene 2 useful as a source to historians?

    crossing scene from the bayeux tapestry

    It is helpful for many reasons. It is unique. It has survived for almost a millenia almost intact (scholars believe that about 7 feet is missing from the end). It gives us historians insight to daily life of Anglo Saxon England on the eve of conquest (this is depicted in the bottom margin throughout the tapestry). It also shows military structure and battle tactics of the late 11th century.

    How to do advanced embroidery on Singer 8280 zig-zag machine?

    Posted by admin on December 24th, 2009 and filed under embroidery | 1 Comment »

    It is a basic machine with few zig-zag and scallop options. I want details on how to use the same to make embroidery.
    Thanks

    It sounds like you’re looking for "free motion embroidery", which is what’s being demonstrated here, though on a slightly differently set up machine: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3833/video-manuels-free-motion-embroidery-technique

    There are some good books to start with… two that come to mind are Robbie and Tony Fanning’s The Complete Book of Machine Embroidery and Mary Parker’s Sashiko. Both, I believe, are out of print.
    There’s also the astounding book, Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery that’s been published in several editions — the samples are all done on a treadle straight stitcher — some real eye candy there.
    You might also want to consider bobbin work with your machine — if it’s one with a removable bobbin case, consider getting a second bobbin case for bobbin work, but if it’s a drop in bobbin machine, you can usually just bypass the bobbin tension.

    Posted by admin on December 21st, 2009 and filed under the lady and the unicorn | 1 Comment »

    When i ws way young i saw this animated unicorn movie, and i only remember some parts!!!
    Ok it started with the mother of the unicorn leaving him/her With little boy, the baby unicorn had big ears, but its mother had flames for a mane i d think.
    There were also these two guys that later took the unicorn away from the boy- also there was a scene with them on big piles of grass then they started to sing.
    The boy got locked up then the king (i think he was a king) released him making a deal that he had to get Phoenix feathers and go meet this lady.
    So he went to the phoenixes and he either captured them of got their feathers. And then he went to see the lady. She was on a ship sailing in the ocean- she was also drawn in kinda a russian way.
    Anyways he is reunited with the baby unicorn….
    PLEASE THIS HAS BEEN KILLING ME I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT MOVIE THIS IS!!!!

They have a big enemy that everytime they find the portal back home the enemy stops. Please i would love to know the name..

    In a pleasant, sunny meadow a gangly, adolescent stood. Beside him was a sturdy, overwhelmingly purple, unicorn. John held the horse’s tough horn in one hand, admiring the perfect spirals. The other hand carefully plucked stray white hairs that had a habit of getting stuck in the horses eyelashes and muzzle. Finished, he pet the beast’s velvet nose and it smiled.
    "Did you have the dream again last night?" asked the unicorn. Her voice was gentle, almost musical.
    John hesitated, then said, "Well, it was different this time. A lot longer, and less dreamlike. I’d have a hard time telling why it wasn’t a dream, other than being awake now. I was in the same little room though, with the bed and the little window on the door."
    "Did you see the lady again, with the eyes?"
    "Yeah, a black lady with blue eyes! Isn’t that something? She’s real friendly though, I wish I could say something to her but I can never come up with the words. She’s just a dream person though, so I guess it doesn’t really matter."
    "Is that her standing behind you right now?"
    John looked over his shoulder and with a fright saw the very same lady. He pulled back into the corner of the room, onto the bed. He cowered behind his hospital gown and stared at his chewed, bleeding fingernails. The meadow was gone, the clinical blue walls of the room were painfully closed in. The unicorn had been reduced to a mere whisper in his ears, reassuring him with nothing more than ‘it’s ok John’ repeatedly.
    "No one is here but me John. There’s nothing to be afraid of." The nurse’s voice was deep and calm; her cobalt eyes twinkled in the cheap fluorescent light. "Who were you talking to?"
    "The unicorn," John replied, his voice shaky.
    "There is no unicorn John. That was just a hallucination."
    "How do I know you’re real?"
    if you like it a lot then add me to your contacts, I don’t know if I’ll add more to this but I’ll definetly write other stories
    twilight is so stupid….

    Very interesting beginning. It certainly drew me in. The last line does sound a little cliche though.

    Would this deck work in a tournament?
