Music Prayer Flag, for those who love and are inspired by music. All proceeds to families in Mexico.

Description

Music may be the most 'magic' element in human cultures across the centuries and this is a prayer flag for people whose souls are nourished by Music! This flag contains the following quotes... "Music can change the world because it can change people." Bono "Music is my religion." Jimi Hendrix "Where words fail, music speaks." Hans Christian Andersen "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." "Music in the soul can be heard in the universe." Lau Tzu I want to sing like the birds sing. Not worrying about who hears or what they think." Rumi The images on this prayer flag are block-printed and stamped by hand on each bright panel. These prayer flags are made in a small shop in Juarez, Mexico, a city ravaged by poverty and violence. The women in our shop take tremendous pride in producing the best quality prayer flags available at a modest price. They are made of a durable weight cotton poplin so they will not 'scrunch up' or tear in the wind. They are hand dyed with permanent, non-toxic dyes and they last many months outside in wind and rain before fading gradually. Our workshop is part of a community development project run by the Sisters of Charity (proyectosantonino.org), for families with special needs children. This project supports several of these families and ALL of our proceeds go directly to the people making the prayer flags. Each strand of prayer flags consists of nine panels, each 6"-5", and the strand is approximately 54" long. They look great indoors or outdoors! If you would like this set of prayer flags in a color combination other than the one shown, check out our custom color options offered for $3.00 over our regular price.
