Prayer Flags - for the Earth


Earth groups

The 'Earth' groups developed from my desire to make a grouping of designs that contained both 'water' elements (such as the 'Lotus' that floats or the 'Bamboo' as it looks so lovely beside a pond) and 'grounded' designs such as the 'Tree'!

The 'Peace on Earth' flag is always in the center.


Kuan Yin groups

The 'Kuan Yin' group of designs are a special mix with the The 'Kuan Yin' flag in the center.as I feel her blessing our planet and it's many life forms.

These designs begin and end with the 'Peace on Earth' flags.

3 group - prayer flags - Garden Birds design mix

Hand crafted and hand printed on natural raw silk, double sided and strung on black cord between little brass bells. Each flag measures about 5”X 5”. The cord is about 31 ” long. Story cards included.

When I wake to the sweet song of small birds I often look, in my mind, down from space, from just the distance where I can see this round earth, partly in darkness, and watch the sunlight moving ever forward to the 'west', and then I 'hear' this joyful sound, at the edge of the darkness, greeting the promise of warmth and light, once again.
That vision was the inspiration for this group of the 'Happy as a Bird', 'Tree', and 'Peace Doves' silk prayer flags. You can read the full 'stories' of each flag on the ' One Little Prayer' page.

The 'Tree' group

I have mixed the 'Snowy Owl' design with 'Tree' and 'Calligraphy of Geese' designs for a group of woodland 'prayers for the earth'. There are little brass bells at the beginning, the end and between each flag.


Dove group

The 'Dove' group


This a mix of 5 designs that Bill put together and is quite popular! It begins with the 'Peace on Earth' flag and then 'Bamboo', 'Dove', 'Blossom' and ends with the 'Tree' flag.


Birds & Bears
groups

I had fun with this grouping mixing the different bird and bear designs I've created.


Lotus Bamboo
groups

In this grouping the 'Lotus & Bamboo' alternate so one can see the designs in both languages.

This is a mix of silk prayer flags, with the 'Dancing Dragon' (good fortune), the 'Wave' (I am the sea and the sea is me) and 'Mermaid & Dolphin' (poem by Kahlil Gibran) original designs. Strung on black cord there are little brass bells between each of the prayer flags.

The silk prayer flag of my original Buddha includes the OM Mani Padme Hum mantra in the design. Buddha sits, like St. Francis of the garden, surrounded with birds and little tree frogs. In the three group of prayer flags it is joined with the Peace Doves on one side and on the other side the OM/Lotus designs. The five group includes the Peace on Earth - Goodwill to All design.

Strung on black cord there are little brass bells between each of the prayer flags.
