Papers ready to go for the next batch of Fire starters

After spending part of the day making prayer flags as I was cleaning up and putting things away and had all the waxed papers which I used to remove the extra wax from the flags which I was getting ready to store. With a glance at the clock I realized I could probably get all these done up into fire starter papers being as all the supplies were at hand.  I made some to echo the hearts from the prayer flags by adding a bit of coloured wax and clear wax.  Others I simply coloured up with wax crayons in a random fashion because they were very lightly waxed.  It was another few hours of fun!  I made up 59 from the papers I had on hand so they are now ready to be made up into fire starters on another day.  It will be a much quicker process with all the papers ready to go.

Another set of Prayer Flags

I worked on Prayer Flags this afternoon.  The set I made last time look like this. I have 24 so far.  These are very similar and use the same base fabric as last time which gives these flags such a wonderful collagy look.  I have used up all the pieces this time so for my next set I will have to find more fabric.  I may have something in my stash that will work similarly.   I am working on having some of each colour with every outside colour - all the colours with blue borders, etc.  I will have a full set with yellow borders now and green as well.  A new fabric next time will change up the look as I will no doubt have to repeat the colour combinations.  It was a fun and creative day!!        Therese
