A start has been made...

Mary Jane and Fiona both offered the inspiration for me to also start my flags for peace (see their posts below). From a broken umbrella I was able to salvage a beautiful circle of 'rainbow' fabric.

And with a bit of delicate and slightly tedious cutting I was able to tease a set of pennant flags and strings from the rainbow circle. Because it is a wet day on the mountain Fiona and I rigged the string of 'flags-to-be' across a window area which also doubles as our morning daily word and reflection corner.

I now intend to reinforce the flags-to-be and stamp them  with a yet undetermined peace design.
