Prayer Wheels

On Thursday evening C and I went to the 20th anniversary celebration of the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA). There was a fundraising raffle of various donated items and I was delighted to have the winning ticket for the smaller of the two prayer wheels in the photo. (C commissioned the taller one some time ago.) Both were created by a talented local sculptor, Chris Moench

Chris has won numerous awards for his work. In 2008 he co-designed and built a prayer wheel presented to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the City of Seattle at the "Seeds of Compassion" event held at the University of Washington in Seattle.
