What is it?

[twerppoet]

an earplug?

Yep. It's a set of reusable hearing protectors.



The challenge is yours, sir.

 

[E Pericoloso Sporgersi]

Sorry, I have nothing prepared. I'll skip my turn.

BTW, Scifan, when I can challenge again, I'd like to post one when you're asleep to have the challenge last a bit longer.
When do you sleep?

 

[Richard Brown]

Lets get in here, quick. He's asleep!


What is this a detail from?



The challenge may be an easy one, but I did say let's jump in quickly! EPS

A paper napkin with Christmas decoration.

 

[Richard Brown]

It isn't made from paper, and it is not laid on a table. It isn't a napkin.

Take a closer look at the design to see if you can establish the material. To help a little more, the origin is Chinese.

Any guesses? It isn't that hard.


You should spot examples in Chinese restaurants.

Thread work so I'll guess needle point or crewel?

Any guesses?

Sure. Long ago I brought a magnificent bengal tiger portrait as a souvenir from Hong Kong.
It's embroidery on canvas instead of painting.
I suspect it's an embroidered peacock or a nightingale.

Just in case, I still don't have a new challenge, unless I'm allowed to resubmit one that wasn't concluded?

EDIT:
Oh ... beaten to the watering hole I guess ...
Oh well, next time.

Yes it is AA. However EPS provided a more complete answer, but the embroidery isn't on canvas.

EPS. Strictly speaking, AA has won by a snout . So, the next challenge is his.

We have a couple of sets of Chinese silk embroidered pictures of which my subject is one. I framed the pictures. I adapted plain cheap framed prints to give the frames an oriental feel.








So, over to you AA.

As I will be mobile for the next few hours I cede the challenge right to EPS.

Hm ... A snout? Naah!
A zit-length maybe, but no nose!

Anyway, I concede ...

 

[E Pericoloso Sporgersi]

AA just PriMed me to continue. But please anyone, consider the floor available.

I now need my daily siësta.
(When I was younger I used to call it my beauty sleep, but now I know that it doesn't make any difference ...)

 

[scifan57]

Ok, what is this?

 

[Roy Rob]

Is it honeycombed tripe?
