These were so exciting for us, that we are making more ground art for display at festivals. Then Jennifer painted some new art for a new banner:

After making a banner of the 8 Auspicious symbols, Jennifer decided that she would make the symbols into a set of prayer flags to hang at kite festivals and other group gatherings. (View more of our Buddhist symbol art.)
