@fiberarts A piece I created in 2022 using linen and goat skin vellum called 'Stigmata' inspired by #medieval manuscripts which were mended/decorated with coloured thread to close naturally occurring holes in the parchment.
The text is taken from the hymn 'Soul of my saviour' and was all hand embroidered from my hand made #calligraphy template. I would love to do a series of these for exhibition.

By way of introduction I am a 37 year old textile artist specialising in using fabric mending as a way to explore healing. Based in Shropshire UK and working on a new exhibition about scarring coming in 2023 called 'Visibly Mending'
