I was sort of lazy, rewording the video's title without thinking it over. So thanks for your link. But... I found this there:
"In English, "tapestry" has two senses, both of which apply to most of the works discussed here. Firstly it means work using the tapestry weaving technique described above and below, and secondly it means a rather large textile wall hanging with a figurative design. Some embroidered works, like the Bayeux Tapestry, meet the second definition but not the first...
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest use in English was in a will of 1434, mentioning a "Lectum meum de tapstriwerke cum leonibus cum pelicano". They give a wide definition, covering: "A textile fabric decorated with designs of ornament or pictorial subjects, painted, embroidered, or woven in colours, used for wall hangings, curtains, covers for seats, ..." before mentioning "especially" those woven in a tapestry weave.
"mandala", not "Mandela" in the title? Great video. Though I knew more or less where they were headed, the result was still surprising and impressive!
ReplyDeleteFixed. :-) Thank you.
DeleteFascinating tie-dying, but not a tapestry.

I like the smiling face popping up over the finished tie dye.
