commercial prayer flags |
This inspired me to use to create new flags from the old.

I stitched the flags to a muslin 5x11" (allowing for the 3" hem in the back)
I machine-stitched the traditional meaning on each flag.

Now, like I did with the 'grounded' flag, I'll create a flag based on the traditional element, but that speaks to me. I'll keep you posted!

ReplyDeleteThank you,Jane, for sharing your flags and this site. I didn't know of this before and so glad find it.
ReplyDeleteCool, Jane. I had wanted to use the flags in my own work on some level, but was really hesitant, because I wanted to make sure that I did not break any religious custom. I really like how yours reflect the sacred intent of the original meaning, and keep the flag intact. They SHOULD be included in the project, and you incorporated them in a beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea and a great education. Thanks for telling us a little more about these interesting flags.
