AuthorOfMyLife Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hello, all! A month or so ago, someone on the board here posted a topic about religious items for sale, and in the responses was a lovely photograph of an embroidered scapular. Since I used to sew quite a lot as a child and teenager, I was delighted by the idea of embroidering scapulars as a way to earn money for plane tickets and so forth. So I went out and bought some supplies and gave it a try! If you are interested in seeing the scapulars I ended up with, please try this link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/StellaMarigoldArt?ref=si_shop Or type "StellaMarigoldArt" into Etsy's search-bar. I only have nine scapulars available now, but I will make more (if this works out) and as I mention several times in the shop information, I am very happy to work with you if you have a custom design in mind. Thank you and God bless you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antigonos Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 They are indeed very lovely. Is it customary to insert a prayer between the backing and the embroidered bit, or is it just "as is"? I'm not really familiar with the concept. I hope you have a lot of success with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuthorOfMyLife Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thank you so much, everyone! Antigonos, I'm not sure what you mean about the prayer between the backing and the embroidery--my scapulars don't have any prayers inserted in them (except for the prayers I try to pray for the recipient while I make the scapular!). I really appreciate the support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatitude Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I just tried to buy one for a friend's birthday gift (the one with the dogwood blossoms) but it says it can't be shipped to the UK. Would you consider expanding to an international audience? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you consider expanding to an international audience? :) Oh, yes, I'm sorry about that! I didn't expect international orders, so I didn't set that up. I would love for your friend to have the Dogwood Blossom scapular, however. Let me see what I can do about this tomorrow, and I'll get back to you. Thank you so much for the support!

I really appreciate the support! As I said, I don't know much about the practice of wearing a scapular other than as part of a religious habit. It just looked as if it might have a sort of pocket into which a prayer that one wanted kept close to the heart might be inserted, that's all. Thanks for the clarification.
