May : Prayer flags banner finished

Creating my book for May turned into a banner of prayer flags and I'm loving it. These 'pages' definitely fulfil the brief of being a monthly creation on book pages that is small and gorgeous, mixed media and stitched. I chose my words early on and stamped them on fabric with permanent ink

Next was to create my bases of book pages topped with organza and I took the opportunity to stitch some little elements too

Then it was over to intuitive layering 

First I made piles of papers, fabric and trims that could be included

It all came together very easily after that gathering.  Enjoyed the play again of making tyvek beads

and including old lace pieces and lovely sari ribbons

 It was a joyful and heart-led project. This is the entire banner followed by close-up shots of each word flag. 

Looking forward to a new project creating my book for June.
