About St. Clare Project
Welcome to the St. Clare Project, where faith and artistry intertwine through the delicate craft of icon bead embroidery. I’m [L.], the heart behind this venture, inspired by St. Clare of Assisi’s call to "Love God, serve God; everything is in that." As a devoted Catholic with a deep reverence for the saints, I create hand-stitched icons that honor the sacred beauty of Christian tradition, bringing the stories of holy figures to life with every bead.
My journey began with a love for prayer and a fascination with the intricate artistry of religious icons. Guided by St. Clare—patroness of needlework and a model of devotion—I found my calling in bead embroidery, a medium that mirrors the patience, humility, and care of a life dedicated to God. Each piece I create is a prayerful act, weaving vibrant beads into images of saints like St. Michael, St. Photini, or Our Lady, crafted to inspire faith and reflection in your home or sacred space.
At the St. Clare Project, every icon is more than art—it’s a testament to the enduring power of love and service. Using traditional techniques and premium materials, I pour my heart into designs that capture the spiritual essence of each saint, from the glimmer of a beaded halo to the intricate folds of a robe. Whether you’re seeking a custom piece to commemorate a patron saint or a ready-made icon to deepen your prayer, my work is crafted to draw you closer to the divine.
Rooted in the simplicity and joy of Franciscan spirituality, the St. Clare Project is my way of serving God through beauty and sharing His love with you. Join me in celebrating the saints who guide us, one bead at a time.
