pax, der frieden, tutkiun, la paix, shalom...


today is the international day of peace... six months ago, a blog was started to invite makers and thinkers to participate in creating a ripple... 

the peace/prayer flags i made are of metal, small in scale... 


what strikes me so profoundly


is how sincerely everyone felt about it -

that is was no mere exercise in making with a 'theme' of peace flags, 

but a heartfelt desire to come together, adding our thoughts and voices through the work to those already working tirelessly for peace - those who have come before us and those who live among us...

war rages as we speak, innocents die - 

and so it becomes imperative to allow the work to infuse our everyday life... 

to never forget, to never take anything for granted... 

there is always time to add your thoughts and projects at the blog, simply contact me and we'll make it happen - 

wishing you a most peaceful and inspiring day -

  8. peace takes many shapes, comes in many sizes, speaks many languages and is exquisitely beautiful, every single time. i love your flags, and like Thread Born, i love the notion that a girl could just happen upon them and be captivated. i'm so glad to be a part of this project . . .
