Blue..too much and not enough

Wire wrapped glass beads of blues - Bracelet and earrings 1669

Really? I had to question this because my love of Lapis Lazuili, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Topaz, Aquamarine. My first jeep was smurf blue and what about denim blues?

Too much...may result in a appearance of being self centered, self righteous, arrogant, negative and becoming melancholy, domineering and prone to over reacting, hyperactive and fanatical.

So, not enough in your life can result in feeling scared, lack creative expression, withdrawn and depressed, timid, manipulative, unreliable, stubborn, devious, suspicious and resistant to change, clinging to tradition.

An effective way to add the power of blue or balance it is having it touch your pulse points, ears, wrists, ankles and neckline. Blue is the color of healers, a natural antiseptic. Good for long distance travel or house moves, career opportunities, business, finances and leadership qualities.

It awakens intuition and eases loneliness...combined with red, orange, blue can awaken artistic expression and inspiration...it is all about balancing.

Color Balance

Wire hand formed glass beads on silver chain ~ Bracelet 1649

Balance of yang and yin, work and play, fantasy and technology, what is new and treasuring the old. Equilibrium to feel secure and connected, comfortable to refresh and replenish. Color can be a equalizer and help us to balance.
Imagine cool of blue green color of water and the toasted brown of umber, terra cotta. Wearing all the colors helps balance your colors of the day...a skip in your steps.

...cotton...

...the colors of cotton in a spool is a beautiful soft image.

My water glasses filled with ice drip..drip...down and makes puddles under the glass. When they get soaking wet, hang them up to dry and reuse. The tassel can be used to attach the close pin to as you air dry the coaster. I like the handwork look and the colors depend upon the season so right now these are the end of winter colors. Spring tends to favor the pastel colors which I have worked in with some of the bolder ones.
