Notes to Treasure

Notes to Treasure Abstract, Mixed Media Christian Artist living in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Painter's Praise, Prayer,
seeking the best way to say 'Wow!'

My name is Kristin & I am an Artist living & painting in Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK. I've explored different media over some25 years of making/creating/painting & have come to a love of using mixed media with an abstract intuitive approach, quenching my desire to throw the rule book out & explore with freedom. I have a strong faith in God, & use my painting as a time to worship using colour. Most oft

en I have a particular scripture in mind, which I meditate on, while singing along to music & painting. My hope is that the energy I experience, whether a lament or bursting with joy, is evident through it's combined connection within my finished work.

Sitting and continuing to sew my boys patchwork T Shirt blankets, in my favourite shady garden spot, the irony of the next shirts slogan is not lost on me.

I've been meaning to post these for a while.

These little beauties are my version of scapula brooches, inspired by my friend making one from her late Father's devotional scapula.

The little pocket on the back holds prayers or pilgrimage medals.

My favourite has to be the Sacred Heart of Christ, a powerful visual theological image that encapsulates Christian belief in one small image.

The fire represents divine love that consumes without destroying, echoing the burning bush of Exodus and the fire of Pentecost.

The Crown of Thorns that encircles the heart, symbolises Jesus suffering, willingly embraced out of love for humanity.

The Cross, rising from the top, anchored the image in the Paschal Mystery: death transformed into life.

The Wound, often shown as water or blood dripping feom the heart (which i didn't include in my embroidery) recalls the moment blood and water flowed out. This is represents the birth of the Church and the sacraments.

The halo or glow around the image signifies holiness, mercy, and the heart as a source of spiritual illumination.

Sequence for Saint Etheldreda

Now our hymn to God uprising,
Sing we of a Queen's amazing
Lowliness of mind today;
Who her royal state rejected
And, impell'd by love elected
In Christ's holy rule to stay.
Kingly might her way impedeth,
As she follows God leaders
Lo her staff breaks out in flower;
Far aside all hindrance thrusting,
Loving God, Him only trusting
She is strengthened in that hour.
See the flood the Saint protecteth;
Plan of mortals God correcteth;
She is safe fro strife at last;
Bound to prayer for our salvation
And to daily adoration,
To her Lord alone held fast.
So by God to Ely called,
O'er his virgin flock installed
Mother by St. Wilfred's hand;
Now thro' work and word she teacheth
Of the blessed way that reacheth
To life's eternal land.
Ely's shrine of wondrous beauty
Kept alive by faith and duty,
Through long years of change and strife;
Still is here to tell the story
Of how grace leads on to glory,
And to everlasting life.
Etheldreda's holy living
Urgeth us heartfelt giving,
Of ourselves to God today;
May her prayers for us ascending
Gain us joys that know no ending
With the saints on high for ay.
Amen. Alleluya.

Here is this year's creation for St Etheldreda. My first attempt at freehand stitching (no, I didn't draw it on first), and one of my pink cathedrals... and yes, I agree, it's not as amazing as the St Etheldreda flag in Ely Cathedral 😍🪡🧵
