Oriental Phoenix and Dragon

Serendipity Designs' Imperial Phoenix and Imperial Dragon
by Carolyn Meacham
on (you guessed it) 14ct aida

Companion pieces by Serendipity. I really do like Carolyn Meacham's stuff (have 3 more charts to stitch heh heh). I do apologise regarding the dragon's pic -- it was overexposed with the camera's flash.

Cross-stitch 2 over 1 on 18ct cream aida
This is made up of 3 parts: Cherry Blossoms, Fragrant Camellias, and Lotus Pond
Finished: 2003

As is the trend in this household for oriental stitching, we made this into a scroll as well. This is truly reminiscent of a chinese painting in terms of the subject matter, and we found the most glorious 'emperor' yellow color fabbie to showcase the art.
