like water, feel peaceful

Linda Kunsman writes "Since discovering The Prayer Flag Project I have been making them for swaps and friends and love making them."

Poetry flags

Jane Smith created these Prayer Flags to celebrate both Spring and National Poetry Month. They are paper collage. She writes "Our Prayer Flags, like the lovely butterflies, do transform the world around us with goodness."
The flags were  inspired by this small stanza from a poem for children:  
 " Butterflies take wing in the first morning rays,
Transforming the world with brilliant displays. 
That's why butterflies fly."

Serge Ahead Day 5

Hi, Deborah O'Hare here. I belong to an art quilt group called Serge Ahead  and last month we got together to make some prayer flags, and here are some...  

It is very hard to show the delicate beauty of these last few flags because of their colour.

Icicle daggers weep as

increasing spring warmth

slowly kills winter

Made by Clare Carter, she has included a Haiku, written by a friend on each one.

tap reveilles on warm soil
to wake sleeping seeds

Thank you for letting me share these with you this week. I hope you have enjoyed seeing them.

Linda Miller: Trust

This lovely flag was made by Linda Miller.  I love how it is hanging among the fig leaves in her garden.  May we all trust ourselves...  

Here is the description in Linda's own words:


Trust is for all of us to connect with what is good in our lives, and to remember that goodness is always available within us.  For a start, I send this out to my nephew going to his college orientation.  May he trust himself enough to maintain a sense of openness moving out into the world.


To make the flag, I used some raw silk from my stash that I had covered with leaf rubbings several years ago.  To that I appliqued, painted, and embroidered further on the flag.


It is a pleasure tocontribute to another flag project in a new format, and to widen the creative circle.
