Prayer Flag Swap

I'm participating in a Prayer Flag swap with 8 other people.  Tibetans hang these flags outside because they believe that the wind will take the prayers and spread them around the earth to benefit humanity. How wonderful is that!  I made 12 flags; I'm keeping three of my own.  The other nine will get distributed to the other participants.  

 A closer look...

 and even closer...

Now let's hope that they really work!
