There are some wonderfully powerful banners there. You should be very pleased indeed with the project. Everyone seems to have put just that little bit extra effort and it has paid off in spades.<br /><br />HilaryHilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937719185098075609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-10243525296866756742016-03-31T08:41:57.936+00:002016-03-31T08:41:57.936+00:00They look magnificent and make such a wonderful vi...They look magnificent and make such a wonderful visual impact. The modern with the old building work so well together I am so impressed, not only with the art work but with the message it gives out. I particularly like the second one of the four you put onto the blog.

The church dates from the 13 th and 14th centuries, and you can find a Video on Yoututbe of the outside of the church that Mick made a couple of years ago. The banners are each 4 metres long, and I dyed some extra fabric green for the letters. They weren't dark enough, so I painted round the edge of each one with green acrylic paint, which also has the benefit of preventing the edges from fraying. They are attached using Steam-a-Seam Lite. On my banner I used a variety of hand dyed and commercial fabrics to make the letters.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554689127653109236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782529108660000163.post-3520088768695003612016-03-28T00:14:57.296+00:002016-03-28T00:14:57.296+00:00Very ambitious, Linda!
