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?

I really HAVE been doing a few things.

I'm in a Prayer Flag swap on Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group...

 my word is Grace...

and they are due the end of July. 

 I've finished my nine flags!!!

And.... most of them were made with fabric printed the "gelatin" way.

Here is a link to Artful Affirmations that shows you some beautiful prayer flags!

And then Patty totally inspired me to make gelatin monoprints!

It is dangerously addictive... you've been warned...

Have you made prayer flags or done gelatin monoprinting?

I'll show you more soon....
