Joy

Prayer Flag #6: Joy

Here's another prayer flag that I received in a craft swap. I like the simplicity of the shapes and the strong contrast between the background and the foreground elements of the flowers and letters. This Blythe doll is Picnic al Fresco. I love her in her stock outfit so much that she has rarely been out of it since I got her. The cherry earrings are too cute to take off. 

Generosity

Prayer Flag #5: Generosity

Oh look! Candy Carnival brought not one or two, but three gifts for your birthday! Wasn't that generous of her?

This is another prayer flag that I received in a swap. My favorite part of it is the crocheted flower and leaves. I also love that the bird and branch are hand-stitched in place with big, bold stitches. I told my partner that I liked birds; I put them on a lot of things, including this doll dress.

I Heart Hearts

Prayer Flag #4: Love

I love hearts so much that one year I made a heart every day, and blogged about it. Clearly, my swap partner knew this when she made me this prayer flag for our craft swap. She also knew that I love purple, green and blue! This Blythe doll is Simply Lilac.

Be Happy

Prayer Flag #3: Be Happy

When I participated in a prayer flag craft swap a few years ago, we each gave our partners ideas for themes and colors that we would like--that's why there is a lot of turquoise in the flags I received! This one has so many interesting elements. It is made of several layers, with sheer netting on top. The bird was (computer?) printed onto another layer of netting. There is a combination of machine and hand stitching throughout, and all the threads were left long and dangling. This happy doll is Playful Raindrops.
