have a great weekend!
(I did the first banner of my own accord for our church a long time ago.
Then we got a new priest and he asked me to do the 'Risen Christ' banner. It took me about 100 hours. There are some things I don't like about it...creases in the face, slightly Disney look about the eyes, but on the whole its been well liked .
The bottom church banner was done for the 25th Anniversary of Liverpool Catholic Cathedral, when all the churches in the Liverpool Diocese took their banners to the Cathedral for a celebration which was filmed for 'Songs of Praise' over 16 years ago)
Fantastic work Jackie. Hope you and your family have a lovely Easter. x
ReplyDeleteI think they are both excellent - I have been struggling with faces and am just not the artist you are. The daffodils are wonderful and the textured areas fabulous. Hope you are having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter jackie

Amazing work Jackie! Happy Easter! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
ReplyDeletelove your banners
May the Bunny visit with lots of goodies...healthy goodies that is!
ReplyDeleteBanners are lovely. Being our best critic helps us grow...but don't just focus on what you don't like. The details and composition sing.
These are lovely. It reminds me of when my mother and a group of her friends made banners for the church I grew up in. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteIncredible work Jackie.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very Happy Easter.
Lovely work Jackie - the daffodils are fabulous. Are you fairly near Liverpool? I lived in Woolton until I went away to college.
ReplyDeleteHope you cracked open one of those brownish eggs today

They are beautiful! I hope you are a blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteI love the Christ banner. so Medieval/Byzantine, but with hints of Klimt, etc. I think it is wonderful that your artistic work can inspire the spirituality of others.
ReplyDeleteWe are all our harshest critics but you should not judge this work, it is stunning, not a bit disney. Beautiful Jackie. Hope you've had a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteClicked to enlarge the first photo to see the wall hanging in its full glory and just love the mixed daffodils and leaves - a real work of art.
ReplyDeleteyour work is just breath taking! i'm in awe of what you do!
ReplyDeletetake care and happy easter, robin!
Just stunning work and something to feel very proud of Jackie. You are a very talented lady (I've probably told you that before...)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a lovely Easter weekend.

The work on those banners is wonderful Jackie. I've never made one, but I have two friends who do and they will enjoy seeing yours
ReplyDeleteReally amazing work, Jackie. The Christ banner is tremendous . . . love the mosaic like details and fine stitching.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Easter.
:-)

The banners are beautiful Jackie. Hope you are having a happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Easter and thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, I love the 'Alleluia' banner, and the 'Risen Christ' banner has always been special to me. You made the 'Risen Christ' the year my mom passed away and you put her name inside the weaving, remember? You do awesome work!
ReplyDeletethey make my heart lift up - happy Easter
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely work, Jackie. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter with lots of joy and lots of chocolate!
Fantastic works. Thanks for the comment. Maybe you are right. I just think it's because I was thinking that he wasn't here to share it with me. I'm not sure how I will react when the anniversary comes up. One day at a time I guess.
ReplyDeleteWoo.

p.s. Your Marrakesh photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteAwsome! I do banners (not nearly as great as yours!) for our church too! I hope you have a great Easter..kids are all home this week so who knows how much art will be made? oh well..

Beautiful banners. I am currently doing a degree module on liturgical embroidery.Would you mind me contacing you by e-mail just to ask you a few questions?
ReplyDeleteDrop by my blog and have a look.
Fantastic embroidery, your work gives inspiration to the rest of us poor mortals
ReplyDeleteJust dropped back to say thanks as I was reading your ealier blogs and saw your mention of Wingham Wools- I have been trying to find a MO supplier of silk fibres in larger quantaties for my embellishing work and there it was - eureka. Order now on its way to me - you should get commission!
ReplyDeleteI love your daffodils Ive been trying to paint them but yours look like daffs. I have made some banners for christmas I like them but they are not so intricate as yours.Jean
ReplyDeletedidnt mean to be anon.Jean
