Intra Muros....

.....which means "within the walls", where they should be, in the sanctuary of Grace UMC, Rochester Indiana, hanging and looking glorious!

The above photo is taken from the choir loft, so you can get some sense of their size. This is a deceptively large sanctuary when you first walk in.....it seems smaller, then you start seeing there is a LOT of wall space!

This is the full length view, hanging. I have reduced the photo size so if you click it, it will only go so large.  I had to zoom from the choir loft to get this; I was lucky to get the amount of resolution I did!

And now for how big they really are.......the lady standing in front is just a few inches shorter than me, so this truly shows the length of the pieces. And this is why it is so hard to get them sewn and straight and looking right.

Everyone was quite happy with them; they were having fun finding all the little beads and pearls that were sewn on, and how the flames reflected light different in different areas of the church, how the background fabric had pattern, how things glowed, etc. etc. Which was precisely what I was hoping for!!!

It was fun; sort of like a "Where's Waldo?".......except with banners......LOL!!!

Hope you enjoy these and understand why I am as crazy as I am on a good day!

Now......go have some fun, or enjoy family that has come in, or rest! (I vote for the last!) As for me, I am not leaving the house today, and may just retreat to the studio, not to resurface for a bit....   ;-)

Pax.
