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.
