FIRST TRY AT A SQUARE AFRICAN FLOWER

Not a great picture....bit late for photography!!
Been trying to do a square African Flower and try the purple and lime colour way
Needs work yet but at least it's square hehehe

Colour inspiration 
feel the need for purples in my life hehehe


Violet / Purple
Healing properties: These are colors of transformation.  They heal melancholy, hysteria, delusions and alcohol addiction and bring spiritual insights and renewal. These colors slow down an over-active heart; stimulate the spleen and the white blood cells (immunity). Bring sleep. Soothe mental and emotional stress. Decrease sexual activity. Decrease sensitivity to pain. They help in detoxification.
Leonardo da Vinci proclaimed that you can increase the power of meditation ten-fold by meditating under the gentle rays of Violet, as found in Church windows.
Esoteric/magickal: Elemental spirit. Divination and prophecy. Angels. Psychic abilities, divination, counter-acting negativity/black magick, reversing curses, psychic healing, psychic power, inspiration, meditation, spirituality, spiritual power, astral projection, third eye, compassion, counter-acting depression.
Preference for violet/purple: Colors for meditation, contemplation, mysticism, spirituality and religion power. A longing to ascend and dissolve polarities (purple consists of the active red and passive blue), to improve the world. Reservation, mystery and dignity. Soft, sensitive people with often paranormal abilities.
Aversion to violet / purple:  A person who has an aversion for violet / purple may have very serious attitude towards life; and may find it difficult to give dreams, fantasies, vague fears or memories a place in it. May have tendency to rejection everything he regards as unnatural or unrealistic.

Sweet Dream everyone hugs x

  2. Sweet,sweet Suz -

    Your's look so much better than mine turned out. I really don't think that pattern over on Flickr is right. Keep us posted when these Purple Beauties are the perfect square. Mine are still sitting in the corner waiting to be worked on. One day, yes, one day.

    Great flowers in your garden.

    Did your SPed character email come through...he-he....

  6. Hi Suz, really impressed with how much you have achieved since moving in.Love these colours and found the significance of violet purple very interesting..have been using these colours in everything for a couple of years during a bad health patch for my husband which was difficult for us both, now better thank goodness. I found myself even putting a little grouping of tops of wash liquid bottles on the window ledge because they were shades of purple!!.The colour really helped me..do you know what the significance of lime green is? Amazing how colour can so affect us. Looking forward to seeing the final square version Best wishes x
