I sure would - I swear some of it reminds me of the Bayeux Tapestry and some of it of Celtic/Viking pieces from Sutton Ho..... I first heard of it on the Orcadian email list. I am sure one of the subscribers will be able to find out more about the creators. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney www.stronsay.co.uk/claremont (Remove teeth to reply) |
