With two friends dealing with health crisis's I have been making prayer flags. To make them I start with at least an 8 x8 piece of canvas and paint them with gesso. Then I made a simple drawing and started adding paint. My friend Connie has been dealing with a husbands illness so this flag was for the entire family.
After doing the first flag the second piece of canvas I had cut was just waiting for an idea. My friend Patty is fighting inflammatory breast cancer. She own a labyrinth and has prayer flags everywhere. I don't know why I had not thought about making her a flag before. She loves orange and this is a representation of her garage labyrinth. She also has a Chartes style labyrinth. If you are ever in Montana its a must to experience. Its called Red Sun Labyrinth.
Making prayer flags for friends is a simple thing that can make such a difference in someone's life. They can add them to their yard or treat them like art and hang them in their home. Its a great reminder that someone truly cares about them.
Do you know someone who could use a boost? Why not make them a prayer flag, I know they will love it.
You're right...prayer flags are a great way to let someone know you're thinking of them during trying times. And yours are so cool. I especially like the orange one for Patty, and I know the recipients will love them. You're the BEST!
