Dayna Collins started her Scattered by the Wind Prayer Flag project to help fund art programs at Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility. She sells each flag for $10. It's a wonderful idea and she's getting lots of response. Contact her if you want to participate. I made this flag with my Indian rug fabric strips. you can see how I got these scraps HERE.

These prayer flags remind me of an installation I saw in New Orleans. The artist had cut/ripped many brightly colored fabrics into various widths and lengths, up to 8 feet long, and attached them to a beam under a porch roof in a government building. The "flag" was probably 30 feet wide and fluttered in the breeze coming off the Mississippi. It was an amazing sight that I won't forget. Later I did something similar for a scarecrow in my garden, with the fabric strips hanging from the crossbar of two crossed poles. Perhaps I was praying that the crows would leave my corn alone!
Thanks, Jo, for your comment. Your garden scarecrow sounds like a fun use of fabric strips. I also like the colorful flag idea.
