Courage from Samantha

From Samantha Conklin. Courage

Samantha writes: "It takes Courage to quit your job to follow your dreams, to leave a bad relationship, to return to college later in life, to start your own business, or make any big change in your life. To anyone contemplating taking their life in a new direction, I offer Courage."

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.

flag for Vibrant Health

Samantha Conklin joins us on The Prayer Flag Project. She writes about her flag:   It seems like everyone I know is sick this winter, so I made this flag to send out my wish for Vibrant Health for all.  To create this flag, I sewed strips of fabric in various shades of green to a muslin backing, couching down a few yarns along the way.   I used my  Cricut machine to make stencils out of card-stock for the words and used acrylic paint to stencil them on the flag.  Hand embroidery, beads, buttons, sequins, and gems were added because they make me smile.
