Oma Mies
Every person has a grandmother. Unfortunately the grandmother of The Drawing Room’s producer and agent Jiek Weishut passed away years ago. Grandmother Mies Bloch was a talented artist, illustrator and painter without the use of fancy software. Part of her work she was known for were her cross stitch designs which were also published. With great pleasure we can announce now that you don’t have to go to a museum to see her work. Oilily the world known Dutch brand for colourful clothing and necessities used Oma Mies her designs and made 10 bags and 4 purses. Go to their webshop and search for ‘Dutch Glory’. …or check out the work by clicking on Mies Bloch. Of course if you want a license too just contact Jiek.
