Prayer flags revisited

Hanging out in the garden these past few days, I have been revisiting my prayer flags. I absolutely love the first series which I made for my father using the scraps from my erosion bundles.

The flags are getting softer

and more ragged and beautiful for each passing season.

The two series from last year


(originally posted here and here) got trashed though. Literally.

The original plan (last summer) was to let them hang for a few weeks and take them inside, but now they were all stiff and dirty and not suitable for indoor decorating at all. I was not attached to them like the first series so it was easy to let them go.

These have a few more years in them I’d say.

  1. I love the fact that you have actually left them outside as one should.

  3. Oh those first ones you made from your Erosion bundles are holding up so well. Too bad about the others, ah well, maybe they can get a wash and become a mixed media art piece.....xox

  5. Once again I am behind in my blog reading. Always enjoy the prayer flags. Some day I AM going to do that! The pictures of the water in the kiddie pool were amazing and so beautiful with all the swirling and shades of blue. I am constantly in awe of your artistic eye and the way you use bits and pieces of fabrics, netting and yarns to create something beautiful.
