This Advent, project & trace these designs to create painted or paper lace banners for your sanctuary. These designs by Hannah Garrity feature traditional Advent & Christmas imagery as well as imagery from the Isaiah passages in the RCL for Advent, Year A. Look closely in this composition for: plowshares and pruning hooks, the wolf and the lamb, crocuses blooming in the desert, the stump of Jesse, the wise men, the shepherds, the angels above, and Mary, Joseph, and Jesus in the inn.
We hope these designs (and our instructional materials) can simply be a starting point for you to create art and beauty that is uniquely your own. Gather a group and create together, for the creative process is just as meaningful as the final result. And we promise, these are not as hard to create as they may look!
