Lapis Wire Wrapped in Yellow Brass Pendant

 

I love lapis. 

Do I love it because blue is my favorite color, and lapis is that beautiful, bold, cobalty blue? Maybe the energy behind the color blue itself is what draws me.  Does Lapis share any of the energies with the color? Do I love lapis because of it's metaphysical properties?  

What is it!!??

I find this very interesting.....

Blue: the color of communication, peace, protection and clarity

Throat chakra: the color blue, for communication

Lapis: the stone of truth, deep communication, friendship and harmony

and I can go on and on and on.

How awesome is the correlation between the color, the chakra and the stone. 

Once I started to make the connection it made it so much easier to study and relate to the properties of stones, and I just wanted to share that with you today. 

It is all about learning and evolving!

May your journey to enlightenment be filled with those wonderful Ah Ha! moments that keep you energized and fueled for the next chapter.

I send you love!!

The Color Green and It's Many Meanings

Green is the color of nature, it is all around us and one of the easiest colors for our eyes to see. 

Green is a secondary color, meaning it is a mixture of two other colors. 

In this case - blue and yellow. 

With green being born from two other colors, it carries the energy or magic lets say of those two colors and then it has its own. 

Let's talk about those energies :)

Green has a foundation in happiness, mental clarity and optimism from yellow and calm, tranquility, communication and truth from blue. That is a proper foundation!

Green itself has its own magic of harmony and balance - think of it green is everywhere! Green is also the heart, the center of our body therefore it promotes promotes love. Love of nature, of family, of pets. . Green represents growth. Look outside at all the green around you, nature is a great representation of growth with all the green. 

Green is hope. For me it is easy to see, especially during the winter when there is no green around, there is anticipation of hope for the spring to come. 

Have you every heard green with envy? That may come from property of green that makes us feel we need to possess things. We need material objects to make us happy. 

Color is all around us and can affect our moods and thinking. Because of this, 

color is used in advertising and psychology because of the impact color can have on us. 

Why do you have a favorite color. What do you feel when you see that color. Is it green? Are you a nature lover? Are you loyal to your family and friends? Are you the one that is always looking on the bright side? 

Ever wonder?

In Love With Orange

I am so in love with orange. Blue has always been my favorite color, but I feel I may be cheating on that dear old friend as of late, and finding myself more and more attracted to orange.

Why could this be?

Well did you know orange is the color of creativity and self expression? Makes sense.
It is also the color of ambition and fun. It is becoming clearer now why I think I am so drawn to this color.

These are cute little earrings made from vintage lucite beads, topped with turquoise and swarovski crystals.

 My work is defiantly reflecting this infatuation with this color. I have to stop myself when I am reaching for beads as I am making a new design, because it is almost always orange. I love these little orange glass and vintage tin earrings! So cute!

Should I put my orange bead away, and make myself work with other colors, or should I just go with the flow right now, because that is what I am really feeling??

And as always, Be peaceful, Be kind. 

Remember to explore, create, dream, imagine and discover!

Magic of Color - Dyed Stone and Copper Bracelet

When I create my pieces, I do so with meaning. I want each piece to mean something, have beauty for the wearers wardrobe and also for their soul.

To do this, I always gravitate to the metaphysical meaning of a stone, and work up from there, as opposed to working in color palettes. Color palettes are scary and confusing, pairing love and communication is way more easy :)

I picked up a couple strands at local retail chain totally out of impulse, because they were pretty. When I got home, I studied the beads.  I knew they were stone but what kind. I pulled out my trusty loop to look a bit closer, and even though I thought I may have seen some specs of hematite (which made me think it was dyed lapis) I still am not for sure, so I hesitate to 'label' the stones.

There is another side to this coin. Even though I do not know the stone, I do love the properties of the color blue. A beautiful deep blue, to help with communication and focus. Ever wonder why so many speakers wear navy blue suits? There is magic and yes, there is some psychology behind color.  :)

I paired this blue mystery stone with labradorite for clarity - see how easy that is - communication, focus and clarity. Couldn't get more simple that that, oh and yes, it is pretty too :)

Do you choose colors based on their properties?
