Hello,

Here is a picture of my prayer flag.  I love this idea.  This is the  first prayer flag I have made, but it won't be my last. Good wishes are on the wind  today.

For the Garden

Mostly all of the prayer flags that I (Jamie Fingal) have made, grace the wall inside my studio.  Today, I made some with stenciled houses on them, to hang in the garden at home

A view in the garden

Another view - they are 2-sided.  Blessings for our house!

A Collection for the Neighbourhood

Barb E Rickard has made a collection of flags to hang in her garden.

"I've just made a baker's dozen of prayer flags that are now hanging in my garden.  The photos are posted on my blog along with a little story as to why I've decided to hang them and the plan to create more."

for Health

This is my Prayer Flag for my friend Deryn who is having scans today for cancer. I wish her good health & that the scans are clear, and that it will also help others who are suffering in the world today.

Prayer Flag Workshop

Prayer Flag Workshop

On a lovely summer Sunday, I taught a Creative Circle workshop to introduce the idea of flag making to others.  A wonderfully inventive afternoon was had by all!  Please visit my blog to read more about our experience and see more flags.

A Collection

Today we hear from Susi Costello.

"I made my prayer flag as part of Carly Marie's healing project to help break the silence surrounding child death. My flag has embroidered panels for love, light, and truth as well as one with my daughter Tigerlily's name and the day she was born/died. It was both incredibly difficult and wonderfully purposeful to make these in honor of my daughter."

Day of Hope

"We lost our son Dylan during the third trimester, due to complications from HELLP Syndrome, a pregnancy specific condition.  A beloved son, brother, and grandson; he is our little blue dragonfly.  A reminder of how quick everything can turn, the fragility of life.  My hope for my family is to focus on strength, love and joy.

This is a prayer flag I made for the event: August 19th - Day of Hope is a day that is held internationally each year since 2008. It was created to help break the silence surrounding the death of babies and children. Part of this very special day is The August 19th - Day of Hope Prayer Flag Project which is a profoundly moving, poignant and peaceful way to break the silence surrounding the death of babies and children."

For John

Today we hear from Maryly Matthewman

" This is our Prayer Flag Protect. We renamed it Wish Flag Project for John Bradley Thompson but the ideas are still the same.

  John Bradley is a little boy currently at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis receiving radiation and chemotherapy for a very rare brain tumor, DIPG.  We had our kick off day today with the Wish Flags and we gave out 85 flags and people were very generous in their donations. Many more flag kits are coming. Here are some of the flags.

 John is in Memphis with his net at the ready to catch all the wishes."  

Grow Strong

Allison Ratterree sends us this flag that encourages all to 'Grow Strong', especially in new ventures or trials.

Wedding Prayer Flags

Their wedding colors, like the ocean, aqua and gray.  Love is in the ocean air!  Fiesta brights for everything else!

Dream, Dare, Dance.

From Allison Ratterree

"Dream, Dare, Dance.  Inspired by my dedication toward self improvement, (I even enrolled in a tap dancing class).  I am offering a workshop on making Prayer Flags in my hometown later this month.  Special thanks to Jane LaFazio for opening this door for me."  

love on the winds...

"I made this prayer flag for a family member who will be facing cancer surgery. May she receive love on the winds and it holds her tight."

from Pat Points

Devotion, Peace, Trust, Truth, Sing!

Cyndy from Willamina, OR, made these prayer flags with her women's church group for the residents in a local care center.

Collection from Chigaco.

 Karen Hoyer has sent in these lovely photos of flags created at her church

"Your site really inspired us! Our church, St. John's Episcopal in Chicago, created a series of Prayer Flags and Wish Trees.  We were celebrating Rogation Sunday by blessing the soil, the seeds and our new beehives.  Our inter-generational project was to write our wishes, prayers and dreams along with pictures or symbols, onto the Prayer Flags and the strips of fabric for the Wish Trees.  They will hang in the church's garden all summer."

Thank you Karen

Two sided Flags to remember the tornado victims.

Faye Cook has made some more memorial /prayer flags.

"These 2 are for the towns affected by the tornadoes in the US. I hadn't finished Granbury's flag when the next tornado struck."

 "One side holds my prayers of love and better communities when they rebuild after this destruction.The other side is a memorial to the destruction and lost lives."
