Prayer Flag Swap
This month our Mixed-Media Collabrative Group had a prayer flag swap…we all made flags measuring roughly 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ with 3″ pockets along the top back to allow for stringing. We tried to incorporate warm and inspirational thoughts into our pieces to fly in the wind out to others.
I began with fabric I had printed using geli mold monoprints then enhancing the designs with sewing, beads, hand stamped words and phrases, hand drawing with permanent pen, ribbons and lace. I hung my pieces in my art room prior to the meeting to get a feel for how they would hang and flow….
Here is what I got in exchange – the positive energy felt in handling these beautiful pieces is amazing – I can’t wait to find a spot to watch them in the wind.
Now I will have Peace from Patty:
Motherly Love from Andrea:
A Joyful Heart from Susan:
And Serenity from Sandy:
