American Woman

One of my favorite iconic symbols is the American Flag! I love it's red, white and blue loveliness and what it represents. Over the past few days i have been creating this scrap wood American Flag. Last year i was going to buy one at the Lavender Festival but of course i thought to myself "I can make that" so that is exactly what i did. I did want it to be a bit more rustic looking but i have decided to let the weather take care of that for me!
