Dancin

A couple of my bloggy friends wanted my take on the color blue, as I am at a bit of loss for a topic I thought I would at least attempt to answer them. I love the color blue usually when I use it, I am thinking peaceful happy thoughts. When I think of blue I think of a beautiful blue sky with white fluffy clouds. A beautiful blue jay and it's song. A beautiful beach with clear blue water. My sons eye color till he was about 7. My dad's eyes were blue, and my husband's eyes are a greenish blue.

I've done a couple of pieces that have the color blue, my favorite is this piece Dancin. It belongs to my friend Cheryl. The current piece I am working on is blue. It is prematurely called, From the Chaos comes Peace. You'll have to wait a little while to see it though.

I don't know why people call themselves blue when blue is such a lovely peaceful color but I do it too. But at least for this moment in my own mind blue means peace and beauty. May your day be peaceful and beautiful and I hope you see the color blue everywhere you look today!

Lovely post. Funny how we do associate blue sometimes as a melancholy mood. This is universal, but as you said we all have other very nice memories of this color. My immediate one is the various blues of the ocean that constantly change with the light on any given day. I also love blue and white china. I love wearing a soft blue linen dress in the summer time. Thanks for reminding me how special blue can be.

When I was growing up, blue was always my favorite color. I wasn't a pinky girl at all. My bedroom was blue till I was a teen-ager. (After that is was pretty psychedelic!) I would have to say I have moved over a little bit from the blue into the purple, lavender, mauve area. A light blue bedroom is VERY calming, I can still remember that.

To me blue has always represented the color of creativity. In the system of chakras, blue is at your throat and represents your self expression. Colors resonate with unseen energy. Maybe people say they are blue because they have something they need to express? Often suppressed feelings bring us down.

I agree completely about the repressed feelings Blue. I think they are the most dangerous of all the emotions because they work their dastardly deeds under cover in the shadows. Any emotion expressed is better then any emotion repressed.

Thanks lovely ladies and gents for your wonderful comments.

Blue certainly does have an important place in your life!
Blue is my daughter's favorite color. She never liked pink very much. She was six when we moved here and her room was painted a dark blue. She said "How did they know that was my favorite color?"
There is a certain blue that I love at the moment, it is the robin's egg blue. When I was a little girl I'd find broken robin's eggs on the ground when it started to get warm outside. I was enchanted by the color :)

A broken robins egg? I would have freaked out because of the little dead robins wouldn't have even noticed the color. Thanks for the comments.

More Ornaments

Just passing by. I have spent the day making more ornaments. I am really loving making ornaments this year. I give thanks to Kathy from the Katbird Shop who said that they are little pieces of portable art. It gave me something to strive for. I am enjoying the act of making the ornaments(except for the stuffing which I wish I had a couple of Santa's elves to do). I really enjoyed making Santa's fur on his jacket and his beard and making the french knot sheep so I got up close with the camera so you could see the details. French knots are my favorite, favorite stitch. Also a music recommendation. I am listening to Death Cab For Cutie's Plans which I took out of the library. Very haunting and thought provoking and the most wonderful music to stitch in a meditative way to. For those of you who are Twilight fans they sing the song Meet Me at The Equinox from the movie. I'm not a Twilight fan but I am a Death Cab For Cutie fan so that is where my interest lies. T...

Symbols and Circles ReDo

Hi All! I spent my Mother's Day joyfully revamping Symbols and Circles. Still not sure I like it but I like it better then it's previous incarnation, it gave me a couple of hours of blissfully joyful french knotting, it's a bit more interesting, and more reflective of my current work. So that is that and I will now have it at my future shows and maybe it will even make another appearance at Katbird. I am still working on my flame thrower hand and only have a few flamethrowing fingers left. It's on watercolored fabric and the colored fabric makes such a big difference and I enjoy painting on the fabric too. I had a wonderful Mother's Day, nice peaceful and embroidery filled. I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day too. There are a lot of great things on my links so please take a look if you have a chance. They are so inspiring to me I hope they do the same for you. Keep Stitching!

The Blessings Of Ovation

Today I am thankful for the blessings I have. For the family who love me. For the friends who love me. For my wondrous dog and all the pets I've loved and who have loved me. For the idea of art and creation and the ability of that medium that allows anyone to find peace. Even a tortured soul like me. And for the daily inspirations of life where no one would expect to find them. I was watching Ovation tv the other night and they are doing their Everything is Art week. I am so inspired watching artists and designers and understanding where they come from. More from their work process then the finished project. I seem to understand their art and their process better than I understand my own. Well as I was watching Ovation there is a beautiful girl who designs for Marquesa who says in the commercial celebrating Everything Is Art week that this week highlights people who take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. It immediately and every time I see the commercial reminds me of...
