Journey Prayer Flag

This prayer flag was created for seeuudee in the recent Prayer Flag Swap on Lettuce Craft.  The lovely seeuudee enjoys all these steampunk, and one of her themes was Journey.  Since it was made in the early days of the pandemic when everyone was strictly hunkered down, everything physical is from stash. 

I'm pretty sure the fabric was hand dyed, and came from someone in a swap on the now defunct Craftster.  The gears are jewelry charms that I painted white and distressed with a reliefing block.  The lace is from a ren faire costume made a lifetime ago.  The embroidery designs are digital downloads from Urban Threads. I loved using this project as an excuse to play with my new-to-me embroidery machine. 

And finally the beads are Swarovski crystal from promotional packs Fire Mountain Gems sent me.  They are too tiny and not the right shape for the types of jewelry I usually make, so they've been in my stash waiting for a special project.  I like how the clear AB heart picks up on the pink, blue and purple in the flag.
