Completed restoration of an embroidery on a stole.

Completed restoration of an embroidery on a stole. What initially looked like a simple restoration that would involve simple couching down of a few loose goldwork threads, turned out to be a major project. I had to unpick every single stitch as many of them were the result of a previous restoration which was done without any understanding of how goldwork embroidery works. And then I redid all of the couching.

The first 2 photos are the restored stole. Photos 3-5 show the damage before the restoration and restoration in progress.

On the cutting table... It feels so good to start making vestments again - it's one of my favourite things in life.

*****
Unfortunately, the sad news is that the illness which we thought was gone for good has returned. I do not know what this year has in store for me and my family but please be assured, I am not planning to put my business on hold again. That said, I will be not be able to accept urgent orders or orders with definite deadlines because every day is unpredictable. And as last year I am asking you to pray for my family, we need lots and lots of prayers. Thank you.

Some of the Passiontide veils I've recently made in their place in the Corpus Christi Church, Maiden Lane. These veils are for the statues of St Gianna and St John the Baptist, for the Shrine of Bl Carlo Acutis, the large Crucifix and two small ones.

I am happy to announce that FilAurum is back in business and I will be accepting commissions again starting from mid-February 2024. For the year 2024 I will mostly be working part-time so if you have any definite deadlines, particularly, ordinations in 2024-2025, please do get in touch as soon as possible. If you contacted me at some point over the last year and are still interested in a commission, please do send me a message or an email again to confirm your interest.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support over the last year. It means a lot to me. All is as well as can be now.

Vestments display in the Opera del Duomo Museum in Florence. There are two rooms dedicated to vestments there. They are in two different parts of the museum (one was quite hard to find - I had to ask the staff for directions!), and vestments are changed from time to time (at least some of them).
