The 'Earth' groups developed from my desire to make a grouping of designs that contained both 'water' elements (such as the 'Lotus' that floats or the 'Bamboo' as it looks so lovely beside a pond) and 'grounded' designs such as the 'Tree'! The 'Peace on Earth' flag is always in the center. |

The 'Tree' groupI have mixed the 'Snowy Owl' design with 'Tree' and 'Calligraphy of Geese' design3 groups for a group of woodland 'prayers for the earth'. There are little brass bells at the beginning, the end and between each flag. |

I had fun with this grouping mixing the different bird and bear designs I've created. |

In this grouping the 'Lotus & Bamboo' alternate so one can see the designs in both languages. |

| This is a mix of silk prayer flags, with the 'Dancing Dragon' (good fortune), the 'Wave' (I am the sea and the sea is me) and 'Mermaid & Dolphin' (poem by Kahlil Gibran) original designs. Strung on black cord there are little brass bells between each of the prayer flags. | ||||
The 'Kuan Yin' group of designs are a special mix with the The 'Kuan Yin' flag in the center.as I feel her blessing our planet and it's many life forms. These designs begin and end with the 'Peace on Earth' flags. |

The silk prayer flag of my original Buddha includes the OM Mani Padme Hum mantra in the design. Buddha sits, like St. Francis of the garden, surrounded with birds and little tree frogs. In the three group of prayer flags it is joined with the Peace Doves on one side and on the other side the OM/Lotus designs. The five group includes the Peace on Earth - Goodwill to All design. Strung on black cord there are little brass bells between each of the prayer flags. |

'Buddha - Kuan Yin'My favorite way to 'touch the earth' is on my knees, working in the garden. Buddha and Kuan Yin join me in my prayers for our dear little earth. These groups begin with the Buddha and end with Kuan Yin, with water and earth designs falling between. 'Story' cards about each of the designs are included. |
