Respiration

This year my husband is very ill with cancer.

I have seen a flag with a tree like lungs. 

Very many green for the respiration and the blue of the sky. In french, the rays in the sky are called "God 's fingers. I hope that God protects my husband; the flag is in my garden (with flowers, protective charms).

Kind regards and thanks for this project. Sewing has opened a window for me, and a protection for my family!

Flags of Aspiration

Bhavana Project 3 - 2012, with Cheryl Razmus (who completed flag #10)

 I would like to share some prayer flags from  The Bhavana Project , an ongoing community work that I created in 2005 inspired by the Tibetan flag tradition.  The first set of 12 flags completed in 2006, the second in 2008, and the third set is in process (almost finished).  These flags have traveled all over the country, and internationally during their process.  Take a look at more from the Bhavana Project here.

Always open to new participants!

Peace...

Linda Miller's flag answering the question, is peace possible?  Yes, peace is possible.  Stop, breathe, listen, and you will find it within yourself.

make someone happy, just one someone happy

Constanza Berger, AKA PereigineBlue here. I have been working on a few more prayer flags looking forward to the moment when they will all fly together in my garden. 

those of you who know me, have seen that i tend to use bright and happy colors

and recycled fabrics that i find in thrift stores which would otherwise cost a fortune.

thrift stores carry many XXL linen dresses and blouses for reasonable prices.  cutting them and washing them gives them a new life.  only recently have i discovered that you can also hand dye them at home with natural products from the kitchen.

this is the finished love flag



these are the original four
there is one "selfish one"
but all the rest are pretty altruistic i believe.
time permitting, i hope to make a total of ten which i think makes a round number and will make a varied array on the line.


i must take this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you who has so far participated in this project.
you are the inspiration behind my flags.
and ofcourse, the organizers who have perpetuated this tradition.


if anybody is short on fabric scraps, just send me a line; as a fabric junkie, i have boxes and boxes of it and could easily put together a care package.
