Starting a new banner

[HelenaZF]

Although I've produced some banner commissions, I haven't made a new banner for my own collection in a long time. But I sense the cloud moving again and am working on a banner that I had designed before we moved to Kansas City.



In fact, most of the materials had already been gathered and stored in a box that has been on a shelf waiting. It is an "I AM" banner. It's going to take a while to take shape, because the first step will be constructing the background fabric. It will be an applique of all the flame shapes cut out of the brocade from the Seven Spirits series. (See ZionFire website for picture. Link at bottom of my posts.) I have it partially done on my workshop table right now.



I've taken some time off to get this message board going, but now that it's up and running smoothly, it's time to get back in the workshop. I'll give some updates, and maybe pix, as I go along.



Please send up some prayers whenever the Lord brings this to mind. Banner creation is a front-line kingdom activity, and I'm calling for intercessors. :pray: :praise: :pray:



I've missed being in community with our fellow visual arts ministers, and I'm so excited to now have this place where we can connect, regardless of schedules, geography or timezones.
