I had heard of prayer flags before, but I really didn't know what they were all about so I had to do a little research. Basically, they are banners of hope and peace. These particular ones are made from scraps of fabric, representing the Tibetan prayer flags using the five elements - Earth (yellow), Water (green), Fire (red), Air/Cloud (white) and Sky/Space (blue).
The Challenge Was On! I began by just painting each muslin scrap, using ordinary cheap acrylic paints. When the background paint dried, I added a few stamps.
EARTH
WATER
FIRE
AIR/CLOUD
SKY/SPACE
Then, I added a bit of stitching and some embellishments.

Next, they were strung together using gardening twine.
Now, they are ready to be hung outside to blow in the wind.
I can't wait to see my sister's creations.
