roots and wings: the balance life

Ileen here, back to making  prayer flags, after various other projects.  This one is a prayer for the balance of life--the need to soar  and fly with the need of being grounded or rooted.

A flag for balance

 
Samantha Conklin with her flag for balance writes:
"Balance in our life is so important to our health and happiness - balance between work and play, caring for others and caring for ourselves, etc. - so I made it the focus of my second Prayer Flag. I had some trouble deciding what color to use for this flag, but in the end I decided on grey as it is the balance between white and black, light and dark.

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.
