Prayer Flag Spring 2023 Gallery

I received from @thanate! She went with two of my themes, magic, and kitchen/feeding people, because cooking is like casting a spell; you follow a recipe, and magic happens. She used some fun machine embroidery patterns, and some scrappy fringe.

Thank you Ann!

Must be the day for wonderful prayer flags to arrive!!

I received mine from @Magpie today and you won’t be able to tell at all that she and I must have some sort of secret connection:


It’s just exquisite!! And as one whose paintings always focused on “forest floors” just all the more appropriate for me! It now proudly hangs on the carved screen which helps to define the space which is my “studio”. It’s amazing!!

Yay! So happy it arrived & you like it. I love that we both had a similar theme in mind, how cool is that?!

@chameleonhound 2 really great flags! Both totally different too, cool.

Another sweet rendering from Ann, I like those fabric strips at the bottom a lot.

Sort of eerie that you both put spider webs and mushrooms into the same scene…a good eerie…beautiful work in different styles but a way too similar theme…love it!

I know, right? When I saw the web & the snail I was like What?! Amazing.

Absolutely STUNNING flag @Magpie. I love the velvet for the mushroom cap. Perfect texture to contrast with the lace and beads.

Wow!! Gorgeous!! Every detail is amazing but I think my favorite part is the loose threads everywhere! Really makes it feel magical.

I got my flag from @Smmarrt !

lol She described it as a bit tipsy yoga pose…probably modeled after me in real life…ha ha. Love the chakra buttons!

Thanks for a beautiful piece to add to my meditation wall!

I took one too, but it’s not in great focus. The flag I made is quite a bit smaller to make room for the hanger.

Yay, I’m so glad you like them, @Kwality570 and @Abbeeroad ! I forgot to put in the note that the embroidery is of a wildflower local to us, a Northern Starflower (which seemed appropriate).

I am astounded by the mushroom serendipity, and love seeing spiderwebs in the flags! That kitchen witch theme is lovely too!

My partners seem to know that I love all the colors of the rainbow!

Look at this scrappy rainbow goodness from @marionberries ! It is going to look terrific with the one I got from @Smmarrt ! Thanks for a fantastic and happy swap!

The card was also very lovely and gave me some ideas for making notecards as well!
