Description:

I have a few handmade prayer flags hanging in my garden, but I feel like it's time to make a few ones.

"Spring is here, and the winds of change are blowing; the sky fills with birds and returning life is everywhere. In this season of airy expansiveness and hope, we can send out our wishes for peace, healing, and harmony on the winds with a simple prayer flag, inspired by a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice. HereÒ€ℒs how to make a prayer flag." From the website: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/make-a-prayer-flag-how-to.html

For this swap, you will make 2 prayer flags.

One for each partner. Please make them 6" x 9", unless your partner specifies otherwise. You may post here, if you have specific requests for the size of the flag you'd like (so it matches the others you already may have).

I prefer cotton fabric, but you may specify here if you prefer another type of fabric. Decorate these creatively... with fabric paint, beads, buttons, or ribbons.

You may even post here if you have a specific prayer or wish you'd like on the flag you receive.

This is INTERNATIONAL, as one flag won't weight very much for mailing/postage.

Are we making a whole flag or just one piece of it? I just wanted to check. Alecia

One small prayer flag, made out of cloth measuring 9" x6" (unless otherwise specified by your partner). here's a link to see some traditional ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_flag

But yours can be totally creative and as personal as you want to make them.
