Bendies, Quills, and Spinners Oh My!

FYI we created a newer comparison video comparing Bendies/Swing Wings/Spinners.

With the introduction of two new flag options that have rods, we know some of you are likely scratching your heads wondering what the differences are between bendies, quills, and spinners. Let me start by saying I personal own and use ALL of these products. I go through seasons where I will prefer one type of tool over another, but they all are wonderful and each have their own feel. The question becomes which is right for YOU? 🙂 Continue reading Bendies, Quills, and Spinners Oh My!

How-to Handle Rod Breakage

As we shared with quill breakage, what happens in the natural is representative of what happens in the spiritual realm. So if you have a bendie break or a cap come off your spinner rod, no worries it can be taken care of! But also know something is shifting in the heavenlies – so let’s pause to rejoice and come into agreement with that too 🙂  Continue reading How-to Handle Rod Breakage

Changes Afoot

A few new things going on that we wanted to make sure you guys knew about. Since we’ve been offering our dowel products for a few months now, we’ve refined what we offer based on what you guys prefer, which in this case means your bendie flags and wings now come with the bendies sewn in and a silk storage sleeve that is dyed to match. 🙂  Continue reading Changes Afoot

Rich in Heart Meanings

It is always fun when a new person find our ministry. We get to go through the awe and excitement all over again as they receive their first silks and are moved by how God speaks to them through it. I don’t think we will EVER get tired of it! And this instance is no exception – her joy and exuberance is contagious 🙂 She is a retiring art teacher – so she is being blessed by the craftsmanship from that perspective as well.

Hubby at Church

Since it’s always fun to get to see men in worship with flags, I wanted to share several random video snippets from church (Gateway:61 here in St. Louis, MO). He’s using a variety of flags including regular dowel wings, XL quill flags (both regular lightweight ones and heavy weight), a spin wing, and a banner.  Continue reading Hubby at Church

Favorite Colors

Paula KIt’s always fun when someone receives Dyed4you silk as a gift! Especially when it’s someone’s first Dyed4you silk. 🙂 

This crinkle silk (named Heartbeat of Heaven) was a gift and the recipient shared how incredibly blessed she was by it and that it was her favorite colors! She said it was perfect for her. God is so good. 🙂

More Artisans

If you follow our blog, you know we love to feature other ministries who have similar giftings. We have talked about Anointed Artisans who God has called and anointed – in this case to create tools for worship. Today we want to share a couple new ones both of which happen to be out of Redding, CA (Bethel Church): Joya Flags and INovia Dance (BTW I love the fact that a pair of our Dyed4you wings is on their splash page – the ones on the left).  Continue reading More Artisans

The Life of a Swing Flag

It’s always fun to me to get to see how silks will get passed along. First blessing one, then another, etc. This one is especially fun for me because these started out as mine. They were my first pair of swing flags, and in fact one of the first pairs every made by Dyed4you! After I’d had them for a season, Papa had me pass them along to the “mama of Dyed4you”, and after she’d had them for a season she passed them along to a young man at her church who was clearly anointed to flag.  Continue reading The Life of a Swing Flag

Dowel Wing Change

As we’ve started using our new dowel line more, we realized we could make a small change to the dowel wing design that would make them easier to create, while maintaining the integrity of the piece. Instead of doing a combination of serging and hemming, we’re now serging the whole thing just like we’ve always done with our medium and large quill wings. 🙂  Continue reading Dowel Wing Change

Nature-Inspired Wing

A while back someone was talking to the “mama of Dyed4you” about a silk idea inspired by a bird she loved. At some point the suggestion was passed along to us and Mantle of Favor was born. Years later I discovered an interesting connection to the woman who had the original idea, and so I gifted her a large dowel wing in the Mantle of Favor style. She said she was “blessed tremendously by this beautiful silk” 🙂 Continue reading Nature-Inspired Wing

Anointed Artisans

I know this one is long, but there’s a LOT of good stuff in here – silk stories, words shared by one of you in the Dyed4you Community as well as some fun Dyed4you history. So I hope you’ll be blessed by it! 

First up is a topic I’ve shared on a number of times on the our blog and it’s one I feel passionate about. God has specifically anointed certain people to do certain things. I call them anointed artisans (think of artisan as being an expert not simply an artist because you could be an “artisan” of computer code if that’s what Papa has gifted you to do). We see this concept clearly illustrated in Exodus 31:1-6 (AMP)  Continue reading Anointed Artisans

Hope you guys enjoy it too 🙂 Continue reading Beautiful “It Is Finished” Billow

Mind-Blowing Giant Quills

Larisa is demo-ing the flags the recipient is commenting on below. They were AH-MAZING flags! Too big for me, but Larisa was working them beautifully. 🙂 And the recipient is taller and loves big flags… maybe one day he’ll share some video. 😉 In the meantime, here’s his response to his flags and a demo video of these special order giant quills called Honored One.  Continue reading Mind-Blowing Giant Quills

How-to Make Bendies

This post was originally about all sorts of dowels including our bendies, but we quickly realized no one thought getting flags without a rod in them was as cool or convenient as we did. 🙂

So we started simply including our bendies with all our bendie wings and flags, and using what we call “reinforced” bendies (which are another rod inserted in the hollow center of our bendies to reinforce them). We use the reinforced bendies on our larger heavier weight flags and wings (like our XL flag and large wing). Continue reading How-to Make Bendies
