Each spring I make scads of these prayer flags. I string them into a garland and call it "praying for spring." I make scads of them because it's just easiest to make a whole bunch all at one time.
They're for my shop mostly - but it's nice to have them on hand for birthday gifts and stuff.
It's a bit of a production - stamping, painting, gluing, stitching - and we know it's prayer flag season when they're strewn hither and thither about the house.
But everybody loves them :)

And, oh my goodness, here I am it's almost May and I've begun a wool sock. I was burned out a year ago after having made 5 pairs through the winter. So this will be my only pair this year ...
.... "praying for autumn" socks? How ironic!
Your prayer flags are fun...but yes they look like a lot of work. Likely not as much work as a pair of knit socks though!!
ReplyDeletethe prayer flags are great!
ReplyDeleteare they made of paper or fabric?
one of the layers looks like text out of a book?
anyway they are lovely.

Snap ... I've been making some very primitive prayer flags out of some of my plant dyed scraps, they're nowhere near as pretty as yours though :)
