Faden Design Studios

I am deeply honored to share a project I completed this past fall. Last September, I was commissioned to create a custom embroidery as a gift for Bishop Stephen D. Parkes of the Catholic Diocese of Savannah.

This piece, featuring the Bishop’s personal Coat of Arms, represents over 230 hours of meticulous handwork. Measuring 9"x11", the pillow is rendered in fine mulberry silk and detailed with hand-sewn garnets and green glass beads.

Every element of a Coat of Arms carries profound meaning. For those interested in the rich symbolism behind this specific design, you can find a full explanation on the Diocese website: https://diosav.org/en/parkes

It was an absolute privilege to contribute to the Diocese in this way and to create a lasting piece for Bishop Parkes.

Wishing all who celebrate, peace, love and light ~
