Power of Color

Do you have a favorite color?

A signature color that everyone knows you for?
Maybe it is in your choice of funky shoes? or your lipstick? signature sweater?
Colors inside your home? your favorite sports team?
A color that defines  " You"

There is Power in Color 

Color affects us, in environment, in our dress, our perceptions, by who view us, by who we view

These are not my words below, but the words of another, taken from the website linked. Today I am going to to stick with the Color BLUE, add  my own thoughts of what is written by the author, Karen Ellyard, and add photos of Blues as example.

KE: Colors can have a tremendous effect on us,  as I am sure most of us have our favorite color which makes us feel good. Color can be used to help us when we are feeling unwell or negative. Color can have an amazing effect on our emotions and moods. Below I will touch on the surface of some of the colors and how you can use them. 

KE: Blue - The universal color of healing, it you are feeling unwell visualize yourself wrapped in a soft blue blanket or a soft blue light.

I agree with Ms. E, blue is the universal color of healing, soft blue, hedging on white, a glisten of blue. If you feel that your being is suffering from an outside influence, that is out of your control, negative, you can mentally submerge yourself in " soft blue" light, to not only cleanse your mind, spirit,  but to add a layer of protection.  It does work.  This color is what I perceive as my soft blue, my cleansing blue " Twinkle".

Some soft blues leave me feeling at odds, why I don't know. Some powder blues, some soft blues are negative to me and I cannot offer why.  Some " soft blues" cheapen what could be very opposite had it been a different hue, tone, value of " soft blue"

I copied this Handbag photo from this retailer site http://www.freepeople.com/accessories-bags/

Not sure if it is still available, I checked, the  "blue" is no longer, it is now on clearance in colors shown: Yellow and Green, even though it says purple, hmmph. I do not see purple as an option, in available, story of my life. If it says it, and you do not see it, don't bother. " So I have been told" by the powers that be.    

On clearance, the price is not what I call a bargain, at $229.00.  Way too much without being able to see it, feel it's quality. It's not about buying the handbag it's about the warm fuzzy that it brought to me visually. I saved the photo of the handbag because of it's color. It being of vintage worn, vintage soft blues, that it brought out a smile. 

All by itself, this "Blue". This is when you know your own favorite shades, you know when you see it, and sometimes it is difficult to find. Hard to explain to another. Blue has so many meanings, blues do speak.

Blue defined: Water, Air, Rain, Music, Birds, Plates, Sky, Fog, Midnight, Denim, Glass, Eyes

Diamonds ? what about Rocks? I love Rocks, Stones, Quartz, Agates   

I found the most amazing BLUE Diamond Ring online, never have I seen a dark Blue diamond, However I am not savvy on jewelry, gems, myself, I am allergic to almost every metal known, you name it, I can't wear it. Ah sigh, again it's the Color blue that fascinates me, had the center stone been another color, I probably would not have noticed it. I am though a fan of Artisan Jewelry, when I go to fairs, art shows, I am a bee line magnet. I can only wear Silver, Real Silver, for a few hours, without reactions, " fingers crossed" it is my favorite and I do own some.  "UPTOWN" Jewelry I have not much knowledge of, other than as an admirer. 

This Ring is Divine ~ Simple, Classic and Brilliant Dark Blue ~ Uptown :) 

This ring is from website: http://www.mysolitaire.com

It is labeled Blue Diamond Ring - 2440, it's retail price $1049.13

This above a Precious Gem Stone Ring ~ What about other Precious Stones ~ that are of Nature 

That are the Color Blue ~ another find online ~ Sliced Agates ~ Wind Chimes 

They do offer "Only Blue" within the choices~ All the Colors are Spectacular 

Be Still My Heart 

One more photo from the site, these Wind Chimes, because it would be a crime not to share it 

Where can I buy these magnificent Wind Chimes ? I am seriously thinking about buying one, to me they are just as beautiful as the Ring above~ only these are Nature Made, Strung by hands   

http://druzygeodes.homestead.com

To add this website found " Druzy Geodes" doesn't stop at Wind Chimes

they offer Artisan made Jewelry that is to die for~ countless choices of every color, every geode, every gemstone of nature imaginable

This one Pendant that grabbed me, it's stone is called Mystic Quartz  

It like a Looking Glass yet to Embrace Every Color of Nature 

The bright vibrant ocean blue to be the focal point 

If this embraces you, go look at the other choices, there are many gemstones to choose from, all in different settings, not to be thought of as one in particular, it is made of nature, Unique and expressive by the stones, gems themselves ~ if you are a lover of Artisan fare 

This is the site to view.  I wish it was updated the site itself, it can be a long wait for it to load, it is so worth the wait. Anticipation is granted with Unique finds, that I have never seen before, I have seen many Artisan Jewelers in my past, just because I cannot wear it, does not mean I do not drool over it. 

How lovely this gem stone is ~ it grabs my heart strings
