RE: [h-cost] semi-OT: getting smoke smell out of fabrics

There is a spray product available at places such as Home Depot that does a very good job of removing smoke smells from things. I didn't use it on clothing, but read the label and see if it's recommended or not. A few years back our kitchen caught fire and this spray really did an excellent job on

[h-cost] semi-OT: getting smoke smell out of fabrics

If you have the capability the best thing I've ever found for getting smoke out of fabrics is simply to give them a really good airing - preferably outdoors. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com

We had some threads come in on a special order (the type you can't return). Well, they were the nastiest smelling things due to someone being a smoker where they were stored. Someone made the suggestion to put the threads in a paper bag then put the bag into the freezer over night.

[h-cost] saint/iconography question

We've been looking at this painting http://www.wga.hu/art/l/lorenzo/monaco/ador_mag.jpg Billed as Adoration of the Magi by Lorenzo Monaco ca. 1422 Are those really the Magi? (The folks with the halo's). To my *very* untrained eye, they remind me more of saints than Magi. The individual in

RE: [h-cost] saint/iconography question

Well, here is my opion: I love the Christian art from Early through the Byzantine Era. At that time, any who actively participated in the Nativity paintings were given the halo to distinguish who were important and those who were incidental to the painting. Mother, baby, Joseph and magi had

H. I'm usually pretty good at this (Catholic school fom grade 1 through grad school) I would have thought the person in the front in red was probably Mary Magdelene because the cup is part of the iconography and it looks like a woman. But I am stumped. St. Joseph is the guy in yellow at the

RE: [h-cost] saint/iconography question

Well, not that I'm trained either...but if you zoom in the two guys kneeling have crowns by their feet, indicating their royalty I assume, which would point to Magi/Kings. Ah - the third crown is behind the back of the standing guy. Also, I don't know when it started, but one of the Magi very

RE: [h-cost] saint/iconography question

Ah - the third crown is behind the back of the standing guy. Yes, held by a woman (?) who is also holding a sword. My guess is that the Magi are the three bearded men with halos. The one with the blue headwrap seems to be wearing a high-waisted gown and seems to have breasts. No

RE: [h-cost] saint/iconography question

How do you determine that the person holding the sword and crown is a woman? My scan of the crowd seems to show all men, and holding a sword would definitely be a man's job. The gown worn is pretty much the same as the black man in pink directly to his right. And as mentioned before, the man in

RE: [h-cost] saint/iconography question

Joseph is the one in the left lower corner in yellow. The Magi in red seems to be a little fancier then the other two. There is always one magi that looks different (Persian, young,...), but this one definitely looks female. A larger picture helps a wee bit.
