I have seen these around flickr and finally decided to do a search for more info on them and I love what I found. I also love that I can always see some similarities between Buddhist beliefs and Feng Shui, helps my learning curve since I am already familiar with Feng Shui. Anything that can increase life, fortune, health and wealth, I am in!
I have been seeing little garlands out there in blog world and thought that they were so cute and now I have decided to incorporate both ideas into one little project for me. Sometimes I need something other than photography to keep me busy and then I photograph what I am doing so it all works out.

I didn’t really know what these were until you posted this. I love the prayer flags – and I like the hearts pinned to a line too. A lot of interesting ideas are churning in my head.
I’ve always wondered about those and now I know thanks to your research! I love the idea of garlandu using anything and everything. My sister once made an outdoor garland in her garden using CDs. The light filtered through the trees and sparkled off the reflective surface of the CD creating stunning light in the area.
CD garland is a great idea for outside–like prisms.
Feng shui is a buddhist tradition, hence the overlap in practice. I have used Tibetan prayer flags as feng shui cures for several client’s homes and find they are really effective in lifting chi (energy) and creating movement in a space. They are very healing and do shift the vibe of a space quickly. Great photos!
