Threads of Crimson

Thanksgiving 2011

srbanks — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:47:04 +0000

This is a Thanksgiving banner for Maranatha Bible Church. The verse and graphic are classic Thanksgiving. We let the fruit of the cornucopia overflow the edges of the banner to illustrate how abundant our harvest is; how very prosperous we are.

All of the fabric used for the fruit and leaves are salvaged from sample books that were destined for the landfill. We love using things otherwise abandoned or thought useless. No one is ever too prosperous for that.

Joshua Two

srbanks — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 23:02:10 +0000

This is a banner that represents the message of Joshua chapter two. Indeed the entire book of Joshua carries this theme and the main character of chapter two embodies the very faith to which God is calling Israel throughout the book.

Read the chapter and you’ll understand the banner” http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=joshua+2.

Banner design 121; 4′x8′-6″

$325.00; includes hang rod with finials.

Cross Design – Orthodox

srbanks — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 20:05:21 +0000

This is a variation of one of our cross designs (Banner Design 118). The difference is the fabric, size, and the word at the bottom.

The cross has a more formal, orthodox feel to it, and the red squares remind us of the blood Jesus shed for us on the cross.

Of course we can make this design in any color scheme desired; the size and verbiage can be altered to suit your preference. Just let us know what you’d like.

This banner comes with a wooden support rod with decorative end caps.

Cross Design – Arts & Crafts

srbanks — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 19:55:15 +0000

This is a variation of one of our cross designs (Banner Design 117). The difference is the fabric, size, and the verse reference at the bottom.

It still has an Arts & Crafts feel, but a bit less so because the colors are not the earthy colors typical of Arts & Crafts. The lettering at the bottom is a traditional Arts & Crafts font.

Of course we can make this design in any color scheme desired; the size and verse reference can be altered to suit your preference. Just let us know what you’d like.

This banner comes with a wooden support rod with decorative end caps.

It’s All About the Cross 2

Here is the latest installment of our cross series. This banner celebrates the cross, but also recognizes the empty grave that is an integral part of our salvation.

We may be attempting other versions of this basic design in the near future, so check back again.

It’s All About the Cross

srbanks — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 20:31:02 +0000

This is a series of small banners, each of which have a stylized cross image. Our idea was to create banners small enough (6″ x 24″) to hang in a family home with an image that will help keep the work of Christ central to our thinking.

We created different styles to compliment various home decor and personal tastes. There will be other banners of different designs and sizes added to this series in the future, so check back now and again.

FBC Mission Statement

srbanks — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 16:52:06 +0000

This is a banner for Fellowship Bible Church of Longview, Texas. They updated their logo and mission statement and wanted a banner to reflect the change and keep the mission before the congregation week by week.

They wanted a simple, even rustic look, for that is the character of the church’s philosophy–be real, focus on Christ.

Glory to God, Peace on Earth

srbanks — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 23:32:58 +0000

These are Christmas banners we created for Maranatha Bible Church. The banners hang on the side walls of the worship center, opposite each other. Each angel faces toward the front of the space, moving the eye forward. The slope of the angels and the banner bottoms reflect the direction of the message–up toward God, down toward earth.

The messages, repeating the angel’s refrain to the shepherds, compliment each other, telling us that Christmas is to God’s glory and for our good.

The banners consist of five separate strips, one for each letter with the angel graphic divided across each strip. The images are created by cutting them out of the red fabric and layering them over the gold.

Completing the message is a sixth strip, in complementing green fabric, hung behind the others. The same green fabric is used for the holly leaves, a traditional Christmas symbol, that decorate the letters.

We would be happy to produce a set for you, just ask. Though we cannot guarantee the identical fabrics would be available, we promise to find fabrics just as elegant and to your liking.

Think

srbanks — Tue, 25 May 2010 21:15:14 +0000

This is a rendering of Philippians 4:8. We’ve set the type of each adjective differently, hoping to express the character of that word.

“Think” is emphasized because that is the action word–we must intentionally make an effort to think on these things.

Having a reminder like this hanging around could be quite useful.

MBC Day Camp 2010

srbanks — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:12:45 +0000

This is the latest Day Camp banner for Maranatha Bible Church. Once again, they gave us the graphic to be used on the t-shirts worn by leaders and we rendered that on the banner.

For the banner, we wanted the ship to feel as if it were plowing powerfully forward, right off the banner and coming toward the viewer. To enhance this we let the wake splash off the boundaries of the banner. Additionally, the dashed boarder is stopped at the waves, as if they are washed away by the ship’s wake.

For fun, we added a nautical flag at the bottom that has a dual symbolic significance. We’ve challenged folks to see if they can determine what that symbolism is.

The waves at the base of the boat were fussy and difficult; we actually changed and improved the waves a bit from the graphic, much to the delight of the Day Camp staff. Karen, the staffer in charge of graphics, said we, “always ‘catch’ my vision and offer very creative suggestions as well that seem to just make the banner come alive.” Thanks, Karen! We enjoyed working with you again.
