My prayer flag project, which I outlined in a previous post<\/a>, is gaining momentum. It officially begins in July, but I’ve been doing posts on Facebook about my project and inviting friends and acquaintances (or strangers) to join in by making a flag. So far, I’ve sent out and distributed about 100 flags, which means lots of ripping, ironing, and sewing is going on so I can send out the flags.<\/p>\n

\nAll of the flags will eventually be curated and strung together, then hung for the Salem Art Association<\/a> Project Space<\/em> opening reception on September 3. My initial idea had been that after the reception, I would contact the library or a school and see about having them hang somewhere public for a while. Then a friend asked if the flags would be for sale, which got my brain to swirling and I’ve decided that I’m going to sell the flags with proceeds going to the Salem Art Association’s art program at Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility<\/a> in Salem. I’ve also been invited to offer a class to the boys teaching them to make a prayer flag.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking out loud here, but my thought is to sell the flags for $10 each, making them affordable to purchase. As of today, I’m thinking the flags will be available for purchase on September 3. More on all that later, but I’m excited to think that the flags will serve a greater purpose.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I’ve been painting and creating flags myself. I have three series going. One is crosses and cruicforms.<\/p>\n

\nAnother focuses on black and white (with a spice of red).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8560\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_8562\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, a whole series where I’m using vivid color and lots of line work.<\/p>\n
