Possibly my first plastic bag for the project? Sado-ga-shima, Japan 2004. Found this picture in the back of a drawer (from before everything was just digital!) #plasticprayerflagproject #plasticprayerflags #plasticwaste https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlG4seHB_s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kyjlim305t9p

Another lovely plastic prayer flag added to the string at Maxilla @acavaflourish by the very talented Lorraine. She whipped this one up in less than an hour 💙👏 #communityart #plasticprayerflags #plasticart (at London, United Kingdom)

I have found so many of these smiley face "Have a Nice Day" plastic bags all over the place. I have no idea what kind of shop they're from but certainly creates a lot of litter! When I run the workshop with kids they're always a popular choice though 🙂🙃. #plasticprayerflags #streettrash #upcycledart (at London, United Kingdom)

Pre-sewing white prayer flag. Made from cut out text from numerous white plastic bags. White is by far the most common colour I have collected even if there is often additional colour/print on the white bags. #plasticart #plasticprayerflags #plasticprayerflagproject (at London, United Kingdom)

Red prayer flag- polizia tape found on the street in Malta, the Fox 🦊 is from building aggregate bags found on the beach in Indonesia, the red stripes are from American Dry Clean bags in Brazil & the flower 🌺 print bag was found on the street just outside my flat in London. #plasticprayerflagproject #plasticprayerflags #streettrash (at London, United Kingdom)

🌊Sea blue plastic prayer flag... (or convenience store blue) #plasticbags #plasticprayerflags #streettrash (at London, United Kingdom)

White plastic prayer flag against the light. Made with white convenience store bags (I find almost daily on the streets of London), El Corte Inglés bag from the streets of Lisbon & "Puma" from left-over detritus of Chapel Market. They always distort a little during the fusing as each plastic bag is slightly different in thickness and some are made with LDPE other are made from HDPE. #plasticprayerflags #plasticprayerflagproject #makeartnottrash (at London, United Kingdom)
