Her needle for the King

We are very excited to share with you that a new illustrator has come aboard Grasa Mesak. Jeana Blackert is a Geelong-based textile artist whose beautiful, poignant embroidery illustrations are perfect for the tender parable of the Prodigal Son. It is a big commitment for any artist to complete an entire children's picture book, but it is an even bigger challenge for a textile artist working in such a labour intense medium. But Jeana is also a committed Christian and for her this truly will be a labour of love for her King.

Please pray for Jeana as she does preparatory work for this project and don't forget to check out her website.

  3. Amazing commitment. Thank you Jeana. Are all the illustrations going to be in textiles?
    May God bless all involved with the new book.
