QB5 Flags Received

 I have received two flags in our swap....
Above is the flag from Margaret.
It's soooo very lovely....
She and Patty are the Queens of layering.
I learn so much from them.
I love how Margaret used a rubber stamp on the background...
so I did that on the rest of the ones I made...

The pictures do not do justice to any of our flags...
nor do they capture the color.... maybe one of the other Bee's will (QB is Queen Bees)...

Below is Patty's flag she made for me:
You realize that it's fabric that has been gelatin monoprinted.
And I love how she wove the ribbons through the trim at the bottom!

Margaret... on her's..... had fabric (or dyed some?) to match the flag and made a piece to edge the bottom.

These all have 3 inch casings at the top and I'm going to string them across the window in my art room!

Have you made prayer/blessing flags?

Have you done gelatin monoprinting?

These were so much fun to do!
I think it's fitting that you got one with a bird on it too. Since each was a little different with various words, I blindly selected which one would go to each of you sweet bees!

I Love mine from you and from Margaret SO much and must show them off...

Aren't these so pretty, Patty did such a geat job of the fabric, it was so pretty to work on, a burst of colour on these cold winter days!
The 'frill' is from Spain, so funny it was a perfect match!

I've never done gelatin monoprinting but remember Patty's post on it -- in fact, I think I bookmarked it! These are just great!
