Sugar Cube Art

The weather has been warm enough for us to sit outside the market cafe again.

We noticed that the sugar cubes have changed. You can see the cute cartoon wrappers from last year in 'Sugar Cube Cartoon'.

I was delighted to find that the wrappers now show portions of the Bayeaux Tapestry. The Bayeaux Tapestry is a 20 inch by 230 ft long embroidered cloth depicting in pictures the events leading up to the Norman Invasion of England in 1066. It also includes comments in latin around the illustrations. (As usual, click on photos to see larger image).The tapestry is embroidered in wool yarn on a woven linen cloth. It's a fascinating work of art, and illustration of history.
Of course, Jazzy was at the market too, looking a little cowboyish (a new slant on Dr. Seuss's 'Cat in the Hat'). She was still wondering why she has a hat over her cage, but soon came to appreciate the shade and continued eating.




If you've seen any interesting sugar cube designs I'd love to hear about them, and if you'd like to send a photo, it'd be fun to post more fancy sugar cubes on DweezelJazz blog.
