----/ The Tentacle List /----------------------------------------------- Call for artists/participants
Prayer Flag Project For this project I'm asking for artists to make their own unique and personal prayer flags - you may wish to represent your culture/unique identity/wish for things like world peace, good health, a better job, a prayer for someone else or bigger boobs and a flat screen tv - it's your call. Work should be done on material or flexible paper or other product that moves in the wind. The work will be outside so may get damaged or be otherwise lost after installation. Size should be 9x10 or smaller (anything smaller will be attached or sewn onto another piece) The work will be documented online: http:// prayerflagproject.blogspot.com (I've temporarily put up some pictures that I took in Tibet of traditional prayer flags). Documentation/ flag to all participants. History: Prayer flags come from Tibetan Buddhists who for centuries have placed these sacred flags, inscribed with symbols, prayers, and mantras outside of their homes and places of spiritual practice. Outside the wind activates the blessings and serves as a visual reminder to viewers to work and pray for the welfare of others. Flags express positive intentions and are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the area. Traditionally prayer flags come in five colours that represent space/ water/fire/air and earth. ----/ Contact Info /---------------------------------------------------- Maxi Boyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] 416-466-8425 http://prayerflagproject.blogspot.com ----/ The Tentacle List Admin /----------------------------------------- The Tentacle List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com/tentacle/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/tentaclelist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidlines The Tentacle List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.com/tentacle/faq.html Online list archives (you need to be subscribed to access): http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/private/tentaclelist/ ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
