Studio: international art (2.1894)

Awards in Prize Competition for a Cushion

second prize, " taurus "

Edgbaston, Birmingham): a very striking panel
in solid blacks, metallic gold, and white, upon a
pale blue ground; the tracing conveys no idea of
its actual merit. Nancie (Mrs. Annie Haynes,
Cofton Hall, Alvechurch, Worcestershire): yet
another pleasant treatment of the honeysuckle.
Orchis (Miss A. M. Erskine, Martin Manor,
Horncastle): the harmony of gold, green and
purple gives a rich effect quite absent in the black
and white. Orange Pip (Miss Longe, Spixworth
Park, Norwich) : fresh and bright. Pisces (Miss
Mabel Syrett, 113 Ashley Gardens, Westminster,
S.W.): a clever treatment of fishes, tracing too
sketchy for reproduction. Poppy (J. G. Hardy,
37 Danvers Street, Chelsea, S.W.) : a very pleasant
and workable design. Perseus (Mrs. H. A.
Heaton, Sans Souci, St. Albans Road, Watford):
a really charming design based on Oriental

" abracadabra "

" eric "

motives, dainty in'colour, and well planned; as the
tracing was partly in faint wash, it could not be
reproduced with the others. Passiflora (Mrs. A.
E. Turpin, Rose Bank, Lancaster): a beautiful
design, which would have been illustrated had the
tracing been complete ; it is exquisitely arranged
and accomplished in treatment. Plantagenet
(Miss Mary C. Offord, St. Giles, Norwich): a
simple group of teazles, geometrically disposed, to
be worked in terra-cotta and pink on a maize satin
ground. Persia (Miss E. S. Wilkinson, 33 Sydney
Avenue, Black Rock, Dublin): dainty and
charming work, spoilt by the word " Rest" in
eccentric letters, marring the repose of the design.
Peacock (Miss Mabel E. Robinson, 35 New
Elvet, Durham): a singularly original design, but
drawn in wash, and so debarred from reproduction.
Student (Miss Mary Ivens, 29 George Road,
