Prayer Flag No 1

Prayer Flag for Peace

My first prayer flag is based on the Buddhist symbol of  The Parasol.
Symbolizing wisdom, compassion and protection

the Parasol
The prayer incorporated into the flag is

Peace Around the World

From the place of Oneness in us all:
Our hearts unite for peace in the world.
May peace manifest its mystery through Grace.
May the people and their leaders find solutions
to benefit everyone equally.
May the spirit of generosity and forgiveness move in and through the hearts of all people.
May all involved direct their actions from love for Humanity.
We give thanks, knowing that this is now so.
Amen, Shalom, Salaam, Peace.

Lots of layers went on here with stamped tissues, laces, machine embroidery, dry brushing with paint. Hand stitch, hand dyed silk and muslin.


I wrote the prayer onto teabags before layering and stamping.


Decorative paper napkins were pulled apart and only one layer was used. This became quite translucent once glued in place.
