Medieval Tapestry Designs

The Medieval period of history saw the blossoming of tapestry design into maturity. The Dark Ages was characterised by simple designs of animals and birds, whereas the Middle Ages saw real art, design and beauty emerge in detail. Many designs and cartoons created at that time have retained a timeless popularity and remain in vogue even today.

The Detail And The Timeless Nature Of Medieval Tapestry

With the emergence of more detailed tapestry design the religious themes proved very popular. Used by churches to impart messages to the illiterate poor these wall hangings were exquisite masterpieces in themselves. Often featuring popular religious figures such as Christ, the Virgin Mary these were often shown in contemporary costume and with an imaginative perspective. Faces tended towards stern and serious expressions. Perspective developed through the Middle Ages as weavers with limited drawing skills developed artistic ability and detail.

As the Renaissance developed and the Medieval Period advanced a more scenic and secular view emerged in tapestry design. Some are quite spectacular, capturing life as it was at that time. The scenes were often crowded with adults, children were rarely seen. Features of daily life were depicted such as wine making, falconry and ladies sewing. Other subject matter included in a tapestry were mythological creatures and characters and nature itself in a burst of verdure. The crowding of scenes featured heavily with animals, buildings, people all crammed in. The War of Troy by Tournai designer Pasquier Grenier for example, is completely filled with people and vividly portrays the chaos and drama of the battlefield. Like a battlefield, when looking at the tapestry it is hard to know where to look first and who is friend or foe. Often the person commissioning the work would find themselves depicted as a character in the tapestry. It was almost as if a vibrant energy spun through these exquisite masterpieces sweeping life itself into their portrayal and forming a discussion piece in a palace or stately home.

Animals were popular in medieval designs and were usually dogs, horses and other domestic species. Sometimes mythological creatures such as the unicorn would feature in tapestry design. The Lady and the Unicorn Panels, now displayed in the Cluny Museum and used to portray the senses are a classical example of medieval work and the intertwining of mythology. A further example of late medieval tapestry is the Unicorn Tapestries which are delicate yet dramatic in design and thought to be an allegorical representation of the capture and death of Christ. With detailed floral decoration and mille fleurs these two series are classical examples of medieval design that have retained their popularity in the modern world and also demonstrate the skills and abilities of weavers in Europe at that time.

Medieval Colour

In the Middle Ages earth tones and plants were used for colour. Three plants were known in Europe in the dyeing of material. These were woad, madder and weld. Madder produced red colouring, weld a yellow colour and woad is known for its blue tincture. When mixed these primary colours formed others in the palette. The three primary colours were used in the Lady and Unicorn Tapestries. Colours that required grinding from stone such as purple were rarely used due to the expense. As craftsmen discovered the potential of mass production the colouring and material were adapted to reflect profits such as eliminating gold and silver material. Borders were popular and often decorated with flora and fauna or with a band telling the story in the tableau. Sometimes the arms of a lord would be incorporated in to the border as a frame. As the craft developed proportion became more accurate and shadows and anatomical structure more precise in the tapestry.

A Timeless Legacy

Many of the classical styles and designs created in Medieval times have retained their popularity in the modern world. Scenes of country life and wine making, of battles and legends have retained their appeal. Unicorns continue to delight with their mystical nature and the classical designs from the Middle Ages have lasted. Le Bain with its mille fleur background is a well known Medieval tapestry that can still be found as a wall hanging for the stylish modern home. Medieval weavers created a legacy in their tapestry design which portrays daily life as well as form an imagined existence through legend. The appeal of classical figures as metaphor for the senses or as warriors continues to fire an admiration for tapestry which has retained its appeal through time.

dog costume unicorn Q&A

Question:

Ideas for a monologue about a unicorn?

I have to write a monologue for examinations, and I'm itching to use my unicorn costume.

Answer:

I'm not sure of the exact link, but google something along the lines of "Unicorns eat stones tree sap and rainbow glitter"
There was this article online on all things unicorn that was... well, interesting to say the least. Your monologue can be about something the, er, "article" touches upon.

(I was planning on using its information for a speech in the eighth grade, but the information was so ridiculous to me that I couldn't say one sentence without seizing with laughter. Needless to say I had to chance my topic. But good luck!)

EDIT:// BASE it off of something unicorn related! Like read or watch something about unicorns, think of some scenarios that unicorn could have gotten itself into and let your creativity flow! I don't know if your added details were directed to me but all I meant was read and get inspired in a unicorn context. Wow I've typed 'unicorn' a lot.

Having fun safely with infant halloween costumes

Halloween is a time when the infants can also have fun. It is really interesting dressing them up in different kinds of costumes. It is really cute to watch these children below two years and parents enjoy dressing them up.

It is really simple to dress the infants in costumes of animals and birds. They can be dressed up in baby bunting costumes. They can be dressed as a bunny, a lamb, a dragon, a monkey, a puppy or a duck. They can wear the costumes of brave lions, striped tigers, teddy bears, baby elephants, cuddly cats or dogs, birds with feathers, colorful peacocks, bumblebees etc. They can also be dressed as a caterpillar, a lobster or even a goldfish. Infants can also be dressed as a pizza slice, a banana, a football, a Hershey's kiss or even a little devil. It is easy to make them wear a pant and shirt of the material and color that is suited to that particular animal or bird. Then accessories can be attached. Masks can be also given. Infants love to dress up in the clothes of animals which they can identify with.

Infants nowadays watch a lot of television. They can identify characters in the television shows. So, they can wear costumes that make them look like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. They can also be dressed up as Tom and Jerry, Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse, Pokeman, Winnie the Pooh, etc.

They can also be made to look like fruits, vegetables and flowers. The right type of costume has to be chosen and they can identify with the dress. The infants can also wear the costume of Barbie doll or an angel. Girls would love to look like Barbie doll.

While dressing up infants in various costumes some safety measures should be followed. The infant has to wear the costume for quite some time. Care should be taken so that the costume chosen should be comfortable and not too tight. It should also not be too long such that it will make the infant trip and fall. It should not irritate the skin of the infant. The costume should also suit the weather conditions of the place. If it is too cold, the infant should have layers of clothing inside the dress. If it is a warm place, the costume itself should be of a light material.

The infant should be placed in an area where there are other infants. This will provide safety for the child. When it is dark, the infant should be easily seen and recognized. It will be good to stick a reflective tape to the costume so that it is easy to identify the infant in the Halloween party. The reflective tape can glitter and shine. It can be placed on the wings of a fairy or the hood of animals or on the back or the front of any dress.

There will be jack-o-lanterns at the Halloween party. Since the material chosen might not be fire resistant, the infant should be carefully looked after.

An infant might not be ready to wear a mask, since they will not be able to see properly through it for a long time. The best thing would be apply light make up. Any over-the-counter paint that is used on the face might be zinc or acrylic based. The paint might not be easily removable on face, hair and clothes. If make up is used, it should be tested for sensitivity. If a cold cream base is used, it will make the removal of make up easy.

Care should be taken to ensure the safety of the infant so that the whole family can enjoy the Halloween festive mood.

Here are some things to consider when purchasing Halloween dog costumes:

Will the fur fly?

Sometimes even the most docile dog will simply NOT want to put on that cute Halloween dog costume you've searched high and low for. So if your little darling is being a diva, then keep it simple - find a dog costume that is minimalist and will still let her strut her stuff. Or if she simply must dress up, then give her some time to get used to it - put on one piece at a time, starting about a week before Halloween. Put it on for just a few seconds at first, then take it off and give her a treat. Build up the time as the days pass, and pretty soon your pooch will be proud of her new Halloween dog costume!

 

Size matters

It used to be that dressing up was just for small dogs. However, Halloween costumes for dogs now come in all sizes - even up to 100 lbs.! It's important to choose the right size so your dog doesn't become entangled when trying to move (too big) or is uncomfortable with a tight fit (too small). Responsible dog costume websites will post sizing charts that will help you measure correctly to choose just the right size for your pet.

Don't spoil the potty

Most professionally made costumes leave plenty of room for potty breaks. If you're planning to sew a Halloween dog costume yourself, be sure you find a pattern or copy a design that allows your pet to go to the bathroom safely and comfortably. 

Shop now

The two best-selling Halloween costumers for dogs last year were Doggie Designs' monkey and lion. In fact, the monkey was so popular that the manufacturer sold out well before Halloween. If you know now that you want to purchase a dog Halloween costume, you should start shopping soon if you want access to a full selection online. If you purchase early, you can also ensure a perfect fit by giving yourself time to make an exchange should your first choice be the wrong one. 

New Halloween dog costume designs

There are several new Halloween dog costume designs this year, including a penguin, chili pepper, fuzzy duck, pink flower, witch, pirate, clown and pink hippo. Some of the old favorites are back as well, including the panda bear, raccoon, punk zebra, shark, bunny, ladybug, bumblebee, turtle, frog, lion and monkey. 

Whatever Halloween dog costume choices you make, remember to make it safe and fun for both you and your pet!

Ginger Ziccardi is a founder of BowWowsBest.com, the best place for forward-thinking fashion hounds on the Web. Her two Halloween hounds will be sporting the new witch and killer whale costumes this year from the 2009 Halloween dog costume collection at BowWowsBest.com.

Of the different types of birthday parties, circus themed ones can be quite difficult to hold. There are so many elements that need to be considered. Although it is difficult, it is not necessarily impossible. The idea is quite grandiose, but if your child's happiness is what you are aiming for, then you should do just fine.

First of all, just because it's a circus themed birthday party does not mean you have to hire an actual circus. Children have very active imaginations and you can make use of this to your advantage. There are a number of things you can do in order to give the impression of having a circus in the party.

What's essential is that you hold the party in a wide area. You need a lot of room in order to accommodate the various elements which make up the birthday party. What elements do you need?

Well, you definitely need some sort of gymnastics and tumbling acts. Use your imagination regarding how to find such acts. You could hire professionals or you could also contact someone who does gymnastics to perform a few tumbles and a few flips for the entertainment of the kids.

You also need clowns. Clowns are definitely essential in simulating a circus. You can hire some clowns for the birthday party by contacting people who offer different types of party services. Of course, you have to consider that some kids can be frightened of clowns. Because of this, make sure that the clowns you get are quite funny and will not upset the children.

A magic act is also necessary for the birthday party. Make sure that the magician you get specializes in flamboyant and colorful acts, not card tricks. You should not get an illusionist. Many illusionists are unable to entertain children. Actually, a lot of illusionists today only manage to scare children and you certainly don't want that to happen.

Find someone who can turn handkerchiefs into doves and who can pull a rabbit out of a hat. This will truly delight the children and make them feel as if they really are in a circus. It's all about showmanship.

What else does a circus have? That's right: animals. Nope, you do not need to rent lions and tigers and bears for your birthday party. Remember, these are children and their imaginations are quite great. To them, a small dog that can perform awesome tricks can be as exciting as any lion.

Question:

Halloween: What Is Your Dog Gonna Be...?

Are you gonna dress your dog up? I'm curious as to what you will be dressing them up as. And if you have pictures I would love to see!

Answer:

I think it's adorable to dress your dogs up for a special holiday like Halloween, as long as your dog doesn't mind it.

We have five dogs and every year we pick a theme for the whole group. This year they are all going as characters from Nightmare Before Christmas. Cody is gonna be Oogie Boogie, Dori is Jack, Sasha is Sally, and little Hooch is gonna be the adorable Zero. We are still unsure of what to make our fifth dog, as there just aren't enough main characters, but we are thinking about making her one of the children (Lock, Shock, or Barrel) or Sandy Claws.

I haven't finished making all the costumes yet, so we don't have pictures, though I wish we did cause the ones that are done are awesome.

Oh and last year, they went as Alice in Wonderland. They won second place in Petsmart's costume contest and First in Petco's.

I just love this holiday.

Fursuit

Fursuits are animal costumes associated with furry fandom (a fandom devoted to anthropomorphic animal characters). They range from simple tails and ears to full costumes cooled by battery-powered fans. Similar to mascot suits, they allow the wearer to adopt another personality while in costume. The fursuits can also be worn for personal enjoyment, work or charity.

close">http://www.himfr.com/buy-close_button/">close buttonFursuits are usually sold at conventions, or online by commission or auction.[1][2] Due to their delicate nature, they require special handling while washing. Fursuits are comparable to costumed characters and are similar in construction to the mascots and walkaround characters used by theme parks and stage shows. The concept is also similar to cosplay, despite the latter's focus on Japanese culture.[3]

The term fursuit, believed to be coined in 1993 by Robert King,[4] can also refer to animal mascot costumes in general, as opposed to human or inanimate object mascots. Fursuits have also been featured in visual mediums as backdrops or as part of a central theme.

The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, forepaws (hands), hindpaws (feet) and a body with an attached tail. In some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body.[5] Many suits include special padding or undersuits to give the character its desired shape (this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender). Owners can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit, depending on complexity and materials used.[6] Furry fans make their own using online tutorials or advice from newsgroups; the suits can also be purchased online or at conventions.[7]

A partial suit or half-suit has all of the parts of the standard suit, with exception to the body. This allows the wearer to have different clothes over the paws, head and tail, such as another costume or street clothes. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the shoulders and pelvis, respectively.[5]

Most recently, a third type known as the three-quarter suit has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of a specific animal. This type of fursuit works well for characters who only wear shirts.

Not everyone in furry fandom owns a fursuit. In an Internet survey of 600 participants, the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis found out that 18% of respondents own a fursuit.[9]

Furries enjoy wearing their suits for parades, exhibitions, conventions and informal meetings. Often, these are of a personal character who they are expressing as a form of role play or for expressing their true personality.[10][11]

Some players of live action role-playing games (LARP) create elaborate costumes, including fursuits, for their characters. The characters can either wear a half-suit or a full suit, depending on what the character needs.[12] Weapons and armor could be worn and used by the players; though each convention or meeting has their own rules about weapons on the convention floor.[13] This is similar to cosplay, except the later focus on characters from popular media, with emphasis on Japanese pop culture such as manga, anime, and video games.[14]

Some furry fans do fursuiting for a job or to bring attention to an event or charity. This can include mascots, but not all mascots are furries. Many are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead.[3] There are also several volunteer fursuiting groups across North America that either ask or are asked to entertain at various social functions. Some groups even set up their own charitable events or perform on the streets to passersby.

A few members of the furry fandom consider the fursuit a sexual item. Fursuits can be sold with or modified to contain provisions for sexual activity, such as openings, removable panels, and anatomically correct artificial genitalia. These openings are called "strategically placed holes".[10] While these are the most common in the media, they are the least common instance of fursuiting.

In the visual medium of movies and television, fursuits have been used either for background elements or part of a major plot. In the television procedural drama C.S.I., episode 406, "Fur and Loathing," featured murders taken place at a fursuit convention.[17] The film adaptation of The Shining has a brief depiction of someone in a dog costume performing oral sex on a man, a reference to the owner of Overlook Hotel and his homosexual partner.[18] Fursuits are occasionally featured in music videos, the music group The Flaming Lips are well-known for using rabbit fursuits in their music videos and concert performances.[19] Other musicians who have included fursuits in their music videos include Moby,[20] DJ Format, Grandaddy, Jurassic 5, Marilyn Manson, Of Montreal, Daft Punk, 30 Seconds to Mars and Gym Class Heroes,[21] as well as Cobra Starship.

Question:

Roger Rabbit or Astro? Which would make a better Halloween costume?

I make professional mascot costumes for a living and I've decided to make myself a costume this year instead of buying one. But, my problem is that I'm stuck between two characters. Roger Rabbit from Disney's 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' and Astro the dog from 'The Jetsons'. Both of them are extreme favorites of mine, I can't decide! What do you think?

Answer:

Astro.

He talks cute.

Question:

halloween dog costume?

halloween is coming up and im going to dress up as alice. i want to buy a costume for my dog that matches mine. im looking for a mad hatter costume but the white rabbit would be fine too. does any one know where i can find one i would prefer locally in miami fl but i dont mind buying online since i still have plenty of time. any suggestions???

Answer:

I know of an online shop with lots of dog costumes, they're all pretty cheap too. I mean inexpensive.

It's at http://kidsdogcostumes.com/costumes-for-dogs

As long as it doesn't hurt or make them too uncomfortable, I don't see anything wrong with it for a couple of hours. If the dog really doesn't like it, I'm sure it'll kick, bite and pull it off anyway.

Common Misconceptions about the Cairn Terrier

As well-known, adorable little dogs often seen in Hollywood, many people who have never interacted with a Cairn Terrier in person assume they know a lot about the breed! However, there are a number of common misconceptions about these tiny, energetic terriers, some that can completely hamper what should be a strong relationship between the new pet and his or her owner.

The most frequent misconception regarding Cairn Terriers is that they are toy dogs, grouped with lap dogs like Pomeranians or Chihuahuas. This couldn't be further from the truth! Though a properly trained and very patient Cairn Terrier can withstand a bit of dressing up or costuming, or being toted around like a fashion accessory, this breed is actually appropriately classified in the working group. Originally bred to flush and kill vermin for farmers in the Scottish Highlands, the Cairn Terrier, despite its small stature, is a little bundle of energy ready to expend it at any opportunity! As a working breed, Cairns need far more exercise and physical activity than any toy breed could handle. Cairn Terriers are by no means a lap dog! While they will provide endless love and affection, they also need constant stimulation and need to live with an owner who leads an active lifestyle, or at the very least, is willing to spend a couple hours a day entertaining and exercising their pet.

Many new pet owners who are shopping for the perfect breed hear that the Cairn Terrier is very intelligent and assume that this means their new pup will be a cinch to train. Unfortunately, while it is true that Cairns are very smart dogs, their intelligence has the exact opposite effect on their trainability. Being that they are very clever, they are more prone to outwit you than to obey you! Those who are experienced with owning Cairn Terriers know that this breed is not quick to learn tricks, nor is it eager to please you unless it is confirmed that he or she will be getting a reward after its performance. This doesn't mean that Cairn Terriers are impossible to train; it simply means that they will do best with an experienced trainer who knows how to handle them. If you are dead-set on having a Cairn Terrier as a pet but have never worked with the breed before, it is best to seek out professional help. Enrolling your new pup in a basic obedience course will work wonders, helping not only to train your dog, but to train you in how to train your dog! Obedience courses also offer invaluable socialization time with other people and animals, which can help curb various temperament issues that may arise in the future without it.

Another common misconception is that the Cairn Terrier is an all-around docile animal and is too small to be aggressive. This is very untrue! Cairn Terriers, like a number of smaller working breeds such as Corgis or English Bulldogs, have the personalities of giant dogs in tiny bodies. Many owners say that they're absolutely positive their Cairn Terrier has no idea how small he or she really is! The Cairn Terrier, originally bred as a hunting dog, is perfectly capable of picking - and finishing - a fight with another dog, a skunk in the back yard, or (if improperly socialized) even a human that approaches too quickly for comfort. These dogs are of a very loyal breed, and can often become aggressively defensive of their owners or their property. Proper and consistent training and correction is the only way to correct, curb, or counter this problem.

dog costume skunk Questions

dog costume skunk Answers

Question:

What do I use to paint a skunk stripe on my dog?

I would like to paint a white stripe down the back of my miniature dachshund. This is going to be his halloween costume - a skunk. He is black and tan. I am looking for a recipe of homemade non-toxic paint. I saw some recipes online that use flour, but isn't that glue? I obviously don't want anything that will hurt him or stick to his hair. I am looking for something that washes off easily. I figured this would be a good costume, because he does not like to dress up, and with the stripe painted on his back he won't even know he's wearing a Pepe Le Pew costume.

Answer:

maybe some spray on temporary dye??
you could probably find some at sallys beauty store.
