This is a freestyle collaborative art project.
For background and inspiration check out the Prayer Flag blog HERE .
No pictures, I'll let you enjoy a bit of googling for research and inspiration.
The idea is that the finished flags will be displayed outside so please consider this when working on your layer. The base should be reasonably thick fabric, a heavy cotton/calico works well. I can confirm acrylic paint works well as a base layer but does gently fade over time. Plastic bags are great to use and sewn into the flags make a great waterproof finish.
The flags can be of any genre, spiritual/prayer like is NOT essential. I was thinking more URBAN ART.
Each flag should measure 5 inches x 8 inches. The top inch should be minimally decorated, so if people want to fold it back to make a pocket with which to string it, they can. There will be 3 layers to complete the flags. The one you start is NOT the one you'll get back. If you want to do more than one please add your name to the list again. I'll check the list and mix it up a bit if I think its necessary.
Please email the person below you on the list for address details etc.
So the plan is:
Month 1: Cut out flag, 5x8, apply a base layer. POST 1st March 2013
Month 2: Embellish/add to the flag you received. POST 29th MARCH 2013
Month 3: Add the finishing touches to the flag you received. POST 26th APRIL 2013
Please make the flags WORD free.
Just to confirm 1 sign up means 1 flag. I've tried to keep this as simple as possible, hope it all makes sense and everyone enjoys taking part. You know the drill, add your name to the list below.

am going to read up on it a bit before signing up formally but I expect I'll do one or two :)
ReplyDeleteI can't decide fabric is not my strong point and part of me thinks all the more reason to try it while the other bit is already running for the hills. I'll sit on the fence at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThats a pity, so many crafting supplies can be used outdoors, and plastic bags ironed together make a great pliable 'fabric'. Hope you change your mind and join us.
ReplyDeleteMy two initial flags are on their way now to Lou and Pat respectively...
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely delighted with both of my flags - they have exceeded expectations - absolutely fabulous
