\u201cNeckties satisfy modern man\u2019s desire to dress in art.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For forty or so years I kept all of my ties. Fashions changed, gravy was spilled, gifts were received, I kept them all in a large Rubbermaid tub. We are now in “less is more” mode and I tried a couple of experiments with the ties before I finally give them to a charity shop. One idea, shown above, was to weave them into a tapestry. It was beautiful but had issues of finishing and how to secure it. Ties are mostly silk and very slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n

The second idea was to turn them into a wall hanging. A big wall and a critical mass of ties might make art. After I finished both experiments I put them back in the tub and stored them again. I couldn’t give them to a charity shop yet. Apparently I am as attached to my ties as my ties were to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
