Today I started making my peace 'flags' for 21 September. Well I won't really have peace flags. This year I hope to make a Peace 'prayer' wheel. Basically it will be a wheel with vanes that will catch the wind and turn the wheel; and send the peace 'prayers' out to the universe as the wheel spins.
I have cut the vanes from an old silver-plated EPNS fruit bowl-basket. There are 8 vanes as that is how many segments the bowl had.

I have stamped 5 vanes with peace aspirations-prayers.

And the other 3 with the saying "imagine peace now".

I hope to get time to finish the wheel etc this week so I can test it before putting it up for peace day.
I think it will be amazing! Looking forward to it continuing to evolve...
