Makers Mark
A hood made in a dogtooth check wool, and lined with plain wool.

The hood is embellished with hand embroidered motifs, all of which are taken
from the edging sections at the top and bottom of the Bayeux Tapestry (which
should of course be known as the Bayeux
embroidery).

The hood is completed by chain stitch, worked at all of the edges.

The embroidery is carried out in very fine naturally dyed welsh wool.

Two of these hoods exist - the only difference being that I used slightly different
colours for the embroidery.

All pictures should be thumbnails, to allow you to see the work in more detail.

Obviously the slight mismatch in this picture is caused by two pictures
overlapping - it isn't like that in the hood itself!
