It is called&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2019\/09\/one-body-unity-in-christ\/\">One Body<\/a>&nbsp;and it is also available as a <a href=\"http:\/\/d4yart.com\/flag\">Dyed4you Art flag<\/a> called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/733439001\">Unity in Christ.<\/a>&nbsp;The piece was inspired by another artist&#8217;s work (see below), which stirred the original idea for the individual who commissioned the piece for a flag (also see below). We&#8217;re very sensitive not to counterfeit anyone else&#8217;s work, so it wasn&#8217;t until after much prayer, dialog on what they were seeking, and God giving us the stirrings of an idea that we took on the commission.&nbsp;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The topic of this piece was inspired also by Eddie James&#8217; song &#8220;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=20Dbh014Sj4\">One<\/a><\/em>,&#8221; which is about unity in the Body of Christ and specifically racial unity. As half of an interracial couple nearing two decades of marriage, is a topic near and dear to my heart. As We were birthing this art piece, an order came in for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/530000252\/\">custom tallit<\/a> for a military chaplain &#8211; the specific request was again unity. A silk called Love without Bounds was birthed and is the silk included in this Dyed4you Art piece. What a beautiful confirmation! So we couldn&#8217;t resist gifting the chaplain a copy of the art and the commission customer a copy of the silk. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>One other noteworthy moment was at the end of the creation process. Having only glanced briefly at the inspiration art piece (below) because didn&#8217;t want it stuck in my head when I started creating, I had to laugh when <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2019\/09\/one-body-unity-in-christ\/\">One Body (Unity in Christ)<\/a> was complete and we discovered that after about 50 lion pictures, we somehow ended up selecting exactly the same face &#8211; LOL! &nbsp;It isn&#8217;t the first time we&#8217;ve used him though, he&#8217;s ended up in <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2016\/12\/listen-to-the-sound\/\">Listen to the Sound<\/a>&nbsp;and also in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/2017\/07\/god-of-wonders\/\">God of Wonders<\/a>. It&#8217;s a beautiful shot!&nbsp;In any case, the customer had a beautiful reaction to seeing the piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My bones are shaking Praise God!!!!! It\u2019s perfect!!! Thank you!!! I\u2019m so happy!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We ended up tweaking the final piece a bit before this release (as sometimes happens also with the <a href=\"http:\/\/dyed4youart.com\/custom-art\/prophetic-portrait\/\">Prophetic &#8220;Portraits&#8221;<\/a> before we release them).
