Not Thor, but Zeus this time:

I really like this striped fabric. Looks kind of bar-codey in this shot:

I might overdye this one:

Oh, and did my heart ever skip a beat when I saw this perfection :

The colors! The fruit! Or is it a vegetable? ( apple? tomato? radish?)

It's a vintage screenprinted long (double sided!) smock/apron kinda thing.

I looked up the name "scuda" but didn't find much, just a couple of vague listings on ebay.

Anyone know anything about it?

Maybe it's not sCuda, maybe it is sOuda! It's a town on the Greek island of Crete ( got that on Wikipedia by the way, not that smart ;O)).

Anyway it's lovely

I just bought three fabric "prints" really just fabric stretched on a frame by scuda....they look so familiar to me, but I haven't had any more success in finding info either. I know they are from the 60's from the seller's word of mouth. On is a walrus. One has a large number one at the top and a hippo on the bottom and says 1 hippopotamus. The other has a man with a beard and a little limerick that is also familiar to me. Let me know if you ever find anything more and I will do likewise.
