Prayer Flags


 prayer flag # 18 for LIGHT
Prayer Flag 18: for Light. Light was one of my words for 2011 was Light. Light of heart. Sharing the light...


Here's a little tutorial on this prayer flag. I love stencils, and use them in lots of ways in my work.

The markers for fabric are really easy to use.

Artist Cellar has a number of new and very cool stencils. I especially love the cathedral series. Oh, I love the steam punk series too!

I used the stencils with acrylic paint on this prayer flag for my friend Jill. I used the traditional japanese stencils for hers. She loves blue and white!

    I love these two flags. They are beautiful. I too love blue and white. The one done with the markers is nice and bright and cheery. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Jane, I love your Prayer Flags, especially the blue one. Thankyou for sharing with us. Can you put them outside when you use Acrylic Paints?
    Kind Regards

    Wow. I have always loved prayer flags, and ordered a set the other day. After I did, I realized they had to be easy to make - I used to quilt, I dye fabric, embroider, etc. So, I did a search for making them and found your blog. Since I am away from home for work right now, between amazon for a jaquard dye kit and the fabric markers you linked, and about $65 in stencils from Artist Cellar (and wow do I have a wish list longer than that, too!), I just spent $100, and I don't even have any fabric! LOL! Your flags are amazing, and obviously inspiring!
