Prayer Flag no. 1

Blue Prayer Flag

In the traditional prayer flag arrangement, the flags are laid out in a specific order from left to right. Five colors represent the five elements The first is blue. It represents the sky and space. My blue prayer is in gratitude for the orbs of the sky: the sun and the moon. This piece is made with applique on dyed muslin, machine embroidered, stenciled and marked.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.

    1. I don’t know when I first saw a prayer flag. It was years ago. To learn the order and color of the flags and what each represents, I looked it up in Wikipedia. Thank you for commenting on my blog.
