Freda brought these Oriental Cushions into The Old Art Room Studio
to inspire.
Freda made them from the fabrics she had been sent for a
Birthday Present.
The Peony is sewn by Freda by hand, using two threads!
Beautiful.

Oriental Inspiration
This week there has been more Oriental Inspiration
in The Art Room Studio.
The dragon is a temple dragon to celebrate ancestors.
His normal residence is on my log cabin studio at home
but he is having a change of scenery by wishing the
New Year into The Old Art Room Studio.
Barbara and Ann got in the studio theme by bringing
these pots and teacup in to Art Class.
