We hope that as they blow in the breeze they might send out some peace energy; and hopefully some folk walking by might pause to read the words and imagine peace.

Birds fly for peace
Yesterday Fiona and I installed our peace birds and imagine peace cards in our so named peace tree at the front of our house.
We hope that as they blow in the breeze they might send out some peace energy; and hopefully some folk walking by might pause to read the words and imagine peace.

I have started...
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.

Peace flags a'fluttering...
Barry and I have been doing a fair bit of tidying up and sorting out around the place - a bit like a Spring clean I suppose. In doing so, we came across our range of peace flags from this year and last and thought to ourselves; why don't we just hang them altogether?
We chose out the back near the peace bell deck, where we already fly Jennifer's flags from last year.
In the end we strung the recycled baby-wipes flags, Barry's metal flags, my peace crane fabric flags and Barry's last year's rainbow umbrella flags.
I think they look great and make me smile whenever I see them!
Looking out from the house...
Closer up from down below…
From the side with the peace bell…
Closer up from the side with the peace bell and the breeze!
We also have my handmade paper with origami peace crane flags still flying out the front of our house as a welcome. I am so happy they have made it thru since 21 September…a month a half outside is not bad for paper I think!
Just wanted to share some of the ongoing joy of the peace flags around…go well.
