Some like to have a set of banners with a common theme or style. They study the banners in our Banner Store and choose several that go together. You could make a set of Stained Glass Windows, Kachinas or an Eagle set. What is neat about this is Carveth makes the banners up just for you. We don't have a stash of banners in a warehouse and you're stuck with whatever is already made. Carveth can change the colors however you like to make the banners in your display match, at no extra cost. When you get done, you end up with a unique banner display of your own. Look at some examples below. Click on the photos to enlarge it and get a better feel of how they would look in the field.
Look at Larry's and Kay's three banners in one of their special displays. They chose a white background banner for the middle flanked by a back background banner on each side. See how they carefully chose a white flute and white notes on the Kokopelli flute player banner on the left to tie that banner with the ancient firefly design on the right. And you know what... they are the only ones anywhere to have this set of banners. It is truly a unique display.
You could chose any of the Wind Thru the Hair cartoon banners. Your initial display could be three. Whichever ones you chose, they would all go together. It is also an easy and affordable set you can add to later on. There is even a 16 foot tall "Mom" to take care of the six foot Wind Thru the Hair banners. She is over four feet wide and has three feet of yellow flowing hair; widest banner we make.
This is a set in honor of Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect. He is known for his wonderful windows. See how the design continues onto the pole sleeve. If they had a solid black sleeve it would detract from the design. This way the pole sleeve is just a part of the "window." Carveth loves these for they have a simple elegance. This photo was taken when they were being displayed at Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota at the Skydance festival. They are a perfect match to the expansive lake, each an extension of one another.
The set can be as simple as two banners. Here is a mirror image of a Monarch butterfly wing. Cheryl and Hillard take it with them when they go camping. What could be nicer than a sixteen foot Monarch butterfly at your base camp.
Another way is to chose banners is to have a common theme. You could have you own stained glass window in cloth. These are after a church window in Iceland. All the windows in the church are made from faceted glass. The pieces of glass are about one inch thick with chipped edges. This helps the window sparkle as light travels through the glass. Each piece of glass is hand set in black, epoxy concrete. What is special about these banners is they are a match if you lay them side by side, yet each one is different. Colors flow onto and off the banners.
Dean's Dad was into eagles. Dean wanted to have a banner display of eagles in his honor. Carveth worked these up for him. Because they were designs we already had, he did not have to pay a design fee, yet he was able to have them custom made to his liking. Dean choose the colors. To make them match, notice how Dean used a royal blue for the background on both banners. It provides a good strong contrast with the white and black in the eagle heads and also goes with the eagle theme providing a rich blue sky background. The yellow in eagle's beak on the left matches the yellow used in the three eagle heads on the right banner.
