Monoprints on cloth. I made these before I knew about Gelli Plates. And, they are now part of Pokey Bolton's art collection. :-)

Prayer Flags # 5 & 6

6 prayer flags

prayer flag: breast cancer
I made this flag for Pamela P. She's a student of mine, and a friend and ironically was diagnosed with breast cancer about 6 months after Melly Testa got her diagnosis. The other irony is that they are friends, and Pamela studied with Melly in New York last last year.
Pamela made two very large bed quilts, with a circles theme, so as I created cirlces and stitched circles, I thought of her.
I realized that 3 of my 6 prayer flags, so far, relate to breast cancer....so I added the pink ribbon symbol.

One never knows what life will bring....Is there something you've wanted to do, and haven't? If not now, when?6 prayer flags
As The Prayer Flag Project suggests, these flags are meant to be done in under an hour. I've been using my scraps of monoprints for the base of mine. I've so enjoyed it, I'm going to add an optional prayer flag making to my upcoming gelatin monoprint workshops at Long Beach Quilt Festival on July 29 (class # 309) and to my workshop at Art Unraveled in Phoenix on August 4.
