sacred work

What may be simple crafting to one person ...

can be deep soul work for another ...

Each set of prayer flags is a practice of meditation, opening to intuition, and inviting spirits and guides to present themselves to me. I play with images, making my own stamps;

 and collage fabric bits to create appliqué designs. 

In the past few months, I've been making flags for some special sisters of mine.  Some I know better than others, so each set of flags has been my private way of connecting with each person. 

 

my original flags were for One Word or Yearly Intention themed

I marvel at the way story is create through a few squares of fabric; how each piece unfolds in a way that I could never plan or predict, but always seems perfectly fitted for the recipient. 

 

 

My own flags hang both indoors (I've been making new sets for each season) ...

and outside

The outdoor flags carry my written prayers to the universe ...

and my midwest wind quickly does its job ...

 

It's been awhile since I've taken orders for custom flags. I am so enjoying this experience, I am offering to create custom 5 flag banners for sale for a limited time this summer. I'm a working mama, so I cannot guarantee immediate turn around.  If you are interested, shoot me an email: lishofmann(at)novia(dot)net.

Of course, the best thing would be for YOU to pull out your supplies and discover for yourself the depth and magic of this practice!  I'm happy to answer any questions.  I would love see what others create!

May we fill the skies with our prayers ...
