Butterfield during his 1864-5 restoration of the church reset the fragments of the stalls provided by Bishop Richard Fox in the early 16thC. in the western bay of the choir. The friezes of openwork panels have been fixed above the coving rather than, as originally, fixed to it. Some panels bear Fox's pelican badge and the diocesan arms, but the most prominent feature is large medallions with human heads in profile. Pilasters separate them with Renaissance foliate drops and these continue below the mid-rail as pendant posts which end in corbel figures.

Detailed pictures of the Practical Sampler I completed in May 2011. Most of the bands are based on designs and inspiration from the DMC booklet "Broideries Ajourées Sur Toile" from the Antique Pattern Library www.antiquepatternlibrary.org
The multicolour stripes were just testing out various thread sizes and types on the same stitch. The open band was not inspired by the DMC book - I wanted to find out if there was enough slack in the uncut threads to make deflected-element diamond shapes.
"Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was designated as a Grade I listed building on 28 July 1955.[1]
Chester was first established as a Roman fortress and town, known as Deva Victrix in about AD 74 or 75. The fortress was in the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. This was protected by a turf and earth rampart on which was a timber palisade, and outside this was a V-shaped ditch. On each of the sides was a gate; the gate on the east side has survived as the Eastgate. It was defended by a timber tower. The road running through the gate led to Manchester, then across the Pennines to York. It is thought that outside the fortress, this road was lined by timber buildings which were used as shops or for other kinds of commercial activities. Just outside the gate, to the north, was a large open area used as a parade ground.[2] From about AD 100 the defences of the fortress were reinforced by a sandstone wall and at this time the gates and their towers were rebuilt in stone.[3]
In 907 the Saxon kings of Wessex refounded Chester as a burh. It is likely that at this time the Roman Eastgate was still present.[4] By the medieval period the Eastgate was the most important entrance to the city. The Roman Eastgate had been replaced but the date of the replacement is not known. Its design was possibly influenced by Caernarvon Castle, which makes the early 14th century its most likely date for its construction. It consisted of a tall rectangular tower with octagonal corner turrets. At its flanks were lower towers which also had octagonal turrets. During an excavation in 1971 a portion of the northern flanking turret was found, consisting of cream-coloured sandstone (in contrast to the red sandstone normally used in Chester).[5]
Outside the Eastgate, excavations in 1991 revealed the presence of three ditches. The ditch made during the Saxon period was wide but shallow, being only a little over 3 feet (1 m) in depth. It had been filled with rubble and masonry. The next ditch was deeper, 7.5 feet (2 m) deep, and this may have been constructed when the new Eastgate was built, probably in the 14th century. The third ditch was built during the later medieval period, probably to assist with drainage. The two later ditches were later used for the disposal of rubbish and became waterlogged, so that they contained organic materials which do not normally survive well in Chester.[6]
By the 18th century the city walls were no longer needed for defensive purposes and so, rather than being pulled down, they were converted into walkways. The medieval gateways were obstructing the traffic into the city and were replaced by wider arched gateways with balustraded parapets. The first gateway to be replaced was Eastgate in 1768 which was rebuilt as an "elegant arch".[7] It was built at the expense of Richard Grosvenor, 1st Earl Grosvenor, and designed by Mr Hayden (or Heyden), the earl's surveyor of buildings.[1] "

The Gallery of Horyuji Treasures - Tokyo National Museum
The Kanjo-ban is one of the most outstanding items of the Horyu-ji Treasures. It is believed o be the item listed as "one gilded Kanjo ceremony article" in the History of the Buildings of Horyu-ji and the Inventory of the Temple's Properties compiled in 747. The top of the Kanjo-ban is a square, umbrella-shaped canopy from which hangs one large, central banner of six panels and four smaller banners made up of three panels. Each of these panels is decorated with Buddhist triads and celestial beings in beautiful openwork and elaborate line engraving. The central banner is believed to have once had fabric "banner legs" at the bottom like other textile banners, which together would have extended over 10 meters. The rectangular shape of the banner sections and details of their designs suggest the Kanjo banner dates from the second half of the 7th century.

Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup): Seated woman, holding openwork processional basket and accompanied by two other women, Eros and satyr
Greek, attic, red-figure, ca. 350 BC
Openwork baskets of this type holding implements of sacrifice were carried by women in religious ceremonies. The presence of a satyr and Eros on both sides of the vase suggests that the festival being celebrated was the Anthesteria. On the second day of this important Attic celebration devoted to Dionysos, the god of wine, he was united in marriage in a secret ritual to the wife of a honorary official of Athens. It was apparently also a popular time for weddings in the city, and the seated on the back may be a bride being prepared for marriage. The basket and detail of jewelry are in slight relief and glided.

A Very and Important Silver-Inlaid Bronze Corner Mount
Warring States Period, 4th-3rd Century BC
The V-shaped mount is cast in openwork as two mythical beasts confronted at the corner where the two heads become one head with a common muzzle and open mouth. Each animal shown in profile in a semi-crouching position has tapered ears and long bifurcated crest inlaid with feather-like segments, one segment swept forward across the neck, the other swept back onto the rump below the long, striped, S-shaped tail. The muscular body is inlaid with wide interlocking geometric scrolls and fine linear scrolls, those on the neck, front haunch and lower leg terminating in a small bird head, and with further feather-segmented scrolls on the rear haunch and leg. The whole is surmounted by an angular bracket inlaid with rectangular panels formed by scroll-filled triangles, and has a shallow groove on the undecorated reverse.

handdyed 100% fine italian merino wool recycled from a banana republic sweater. very very nice yarn... so nice that all yarn from this sweater will be made to go around the neck. i've been experimenting with cowl/smoke rings. this one is big enough around to be a smoke ring (by some patterns i've been looking at), but i really think that smoke rings of this size make people look like slugs. it's not long enough though... so i don't recommend it even if you really wanted to look like a slug. on the bright side, if you're really hippy you can wear it as a nice big wide headband... i imagine lovely dreadlocks sticking out the back of lace. 1 of 2.

Revolving vases. A set of two vases, an inner and outer one in the same piece involves a method by which the neck or body is designed so that one of the two vases can spin, hence the term 'revolving vase'. Using the hand to find the mechanism by which to make to rotate. "revolving vases" also often make use of both openwork and interlocking techniques. "Openwork" refers to the method of carving away holes in the surface, while 'interlocking" is the techniques by which the upper and lower parts are joined but not adhered together, but nor are they individual pieces making up separate units, this display features porcelain with outer level openwork allowing for an interesting view of the pattern on the inner vase. Furthermore, the ruyi-cloud pattern formed by the cross-section of the vessel body allows one to realise the special quality of interlocking decoration.

A lacemaker demonstrates the art of lace making using the bobbin method at the Kraitchar House (Caldwell Historical Society) during the 2010 Kolache Festival in Caldwell, Texas. Besides being decorated, some of the bobbins used to hold the thread have messages or names written on them.
Lace, a decorative openwork web, was first developed in Europe during the sixteenth century. Two distinct types of lace making—needle lace (crochet) and bobbin lace—began simultaneously. Needle lace is made with a single needle and thread, while bobbin lace entails the plaiting of many threads. Lace thread was typically made from linen, and later silk or metallic gold threads, followed by cotton in the nineteenth century. Needle and bobbin laces were often named after the region or town where they were made. The lace making techniques were brought over to America from Europe. From the 1830's to today, there have been artists in the Texas who are very accomplished lacemakers.
In 1809, Englishman John Heathcoat invented a machine that could make the most tedious element of lace, the mesh ground. By the mid-1800s, machine and handmade laces were often combined into such forms as bobbin appliqué on machine-made net. Later, a variety of patterned machine laces became available. Even so, a demand for handmade lace remained. In the remote parts of the American West, the best way to obtain expensive looking lace was to make it yourself.
