- By the Bridges again

Addendum: Sale of the flags raised $15,000 for the monument. A picture of the flags on the Blanco can be seen here.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Don's boot for the Blanco ended up raising $175 for the Blanco River Monument. Since there was a second fundraiser involving peace flags, I decided to make one, too ...


Grace will recognize the rusted cloth that makes up the boot, but it will take close-ups to recognize the Subaru radiator insides that make up the two bridges ...

The upper right patch is dyed with rosemary for remembrance ... for the
now-razed By the Bridge antique store that was irreparably damaged in the Halloween flood

Grace also figured in the Wimberley sign, which was dyed with her black walnuts

The Shibori dyed indigo was made during the natural dyeing workshop at Maura Ambrose's last month ...

One last look at the back ...

 
then it was taken over to Art on 12 one hour before the deadline. I hope to post a picture of all the flags flying over the Blanco River, planned for early 2016.
