So here's my entry: it's approximately 5 x 8 inches, on linen, with perle thread numbers 5 and 8, hardanger, drawn threadwork and fraying. On the back I'll put a pocket for hanging it, and inscribe the prayer and my name and date, but the prayer is between me and the wind! it honors HP's part in reintroducing me to the fiber arts, during his last years, when I could not leave his side to go to the studio up two flights, and switched to art forms that I could safely work in. No fumes, no danger to his health, and he could watch and enjoy the progress of my weaving, and stitching, and knitting and crocheting. So this prayer flag is a kind of acknowledgment of all that.
That is lovely, Liz!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up about the flag project.
linen is so yummy to work with and your prayer flag is wonderful.
ReplyDeletei enjoy the peace that i find while involved in making these flags. it's been a re-introduction to the meaning of prayer and faith for me . . . time well spent at the beginnig of each day as i wake up with a cup of warm milky tea and admire the hummingbirds between stitches.
