“Wishing Flags” by Fae Kontje-Gibbs
The overall project is “Wishes For Children” and this year I am showing not only single flags and the strings of flags as shown here.
This year I am expanding the show to include what I’m calling “Practical Flags.”
As with the flags, the fabrics used are decorated by me with paint and printed with my hand carved blocks/stamps. I’ve made tea cozies and potholders, and tea towels.
I’m also including a quilt and several pillows, made for this show, also predominantly stitched out of my own decorated fabrics.
Practical Flags for Everyday Wishes
When using these “practical flags” in our everyday lives, may we think of the children living in squalor under the control of adults who do not care for the children but use them for their own greedy gain. May we send a wish that these children might also, somehow, someday, enjoy the comfort of pouring cups of tea and pulling warm biscuits from the oven to share with friends. These are such simple acts that might escape our attention as being part of life’s small luxuries.
