My flags are usually created in an intuitive way and whatever happens in the process is the result, it sort of develops on the way.
These last flags I created were for a specific reason. A new mother-to-be in our family celebrated this coming event not with a baby shower but a blessingway ‘party’ and the woman in our family created a prayerflag for this spiritual event.
Love these prayer flags~and really want to make some of my own. I have so much fabric scraps that I have gotten hold of from other friends that it would make the flags even more precious. I am sure, the scraps will tell me what they want to be. :) You have inspired me to get going on this project! Truly small works of art!!! I have enjoyed looking at them, great job!

ReplyDeletewhat joy they would still bring!!

ReplyDeleteI always wonder how they do the printing on the bias tape, scraps of fabric and ribbons. I have looked but you have to order a roll of the same word or phrase repeated and only on ribbon - I would like to customize some of my jewelry with unique words and phrases as shown here. Anyone know how?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, I have use lettered rubber stamps and paint for printing on fabric.
DeleteLet me know if you have any questions...

Sandra, do you mean on the twill tape? I'm not sure I see any bias-tape on these. (Won't the creator of these answer your question? Curious that you asked if "anyone" knows how. Hmmm....) Anyway, you can put fabric thru' a printer. It just needs something to stiffen it, so it'll go through without getting jammed up. Do a search and you should find instructions on how to do it. Probably even using an interfacing on some muslin would work. You could also use a spray-ink/paint/acrylic paints with a stencil for words. It actually looks like some of these were done that way. These are lovely!
ReplyDeleteMaking prayer flags, faith flags, statement banners, & junk journals during the past year was my way of coping with the isolation.
