Bernous (Shetland, Scotland; 1851), The Shetland Museum

Initially purchased for the collection in 1978, this ‘Ladies Dress Shawl’ was reputedly commissioned by Edward Standen and Co., London importer of Shetland lace knitting, for display at the Great Exhibition in 1851. A burnous is a North African cloak with fronts that often end as points. It has a simple hood that drapes down the back. It is often made in striped fabric and tassels decorate the hood and front.

I won't kill a wasp if I can get it to leave. Killing is the last resort. Threatening to kill can sometimes help.

Once I was alone in a classroom of 20 something three to five year olds and a wasp got in, to the panic and horror of the children. My desire to stop the chaos unlocked a previously unknown power in me and when the wasp landed on a curtain by an open window I cupped it IN MY BARE HANDS and tossed it out the window.
