Pantone Fall 2018 Color Report

Going into Sept every year I always take a peek at the Pantone choices for fall colors.  I know the colors are announced a season ahead, which makes sense because of the timeline needed for creation and production, but I think it is fun to wait and look. 

I love this year!

Red pear, valiant poppy, nebulas blue, ceylon yellow, martini olive (yum!)

Russet orange, ultra violet, crocus petal, limelight, quetzal green

What is fun, without even looking at the fall colors until I wrote this post, I almost feel I am in tuned to what is going on this year, based on the color choices of my new tie dye shirt I made yesterday!!

I dont' think i was that far off do you??

More tie dye to come!

Tie Dye Powder Haul!

I am so excited!!

I am browsing Instagram the other day and I see a post from a local artist that is destashing. She is getting rid of a lot of her tie dye powders and a few other things. 

I sent her a message because I am extremely interested. 

I went to her house and she loaded up these three bags with powder tubs. 83 of them. Several of them were still sealed, and most of them had only one application used. The majority of them are the Dharma Trading Co. brand, which I am really familiar with. 

I am just giddy about this haul!!

I now have to go through them all, catalog them, and I am making a 'swatch' page with the names of each of the colors, and a little sample of what the color looks like on heavy water color paper. I can hang that on the wall, and at a glance have an idea of what the colors look like. It will help when putting together color combinations for new scarves and shirts. 

What a blessing this was, and I am just so grateful for it. 

I'll post some pics of the new scarves next week!!!

Sugilite Pendant - Dendritic Pendant

I finally got around to wrapping that dendritic agate that I talked about in my last blog post!!

I am happy to say, it is in the mail to its new home.

Congratz little pendent!! 

This little pendant is made from sugilite. (SOO-gee-lite) Most people associate sugilite with purple, but in lower quality stone (quality meaning gem quality) it ranges in color from purple to black. I have a little box of tumbled odds and ends, some big enough for a pendant, and most will be wrapped into earrings.

This little one is now at it's home, bringing support and encouragement to it's new partner :)

Sugilite is a love stone and spiritual growth. It shows you how to live authentically, appreciate everything about your life, and who you really are. This is a great stone to keep with you on your journey to live your truths, follow your passions, and be bold and courageous!!

It will inspire you to discover your purpose in this world and make you appreciate everything about your life. Is the glass have empty? Need to change your perception and find more positivity in your world? This is the little stone to help with that. 

I am just now learning about the properties of this stone, and I am loving everything I am finding out.  I think I am gonna have to make myself a pair of earrings :)

Until then, thanks for stopping by and remember:

Be peaceful, be kind, it's important!

Dendritic Agate - What Are the Properties of this Stone!

Let's talk about dendritic agate!

Dendritic agate is a stone in the chalcedony family, "agate" , with manganese inclusions, called dendrites - thus the name :)

The color of the agate can be from clear to white with the manganese inclusions, you may even see a white agate with green inclusions, called Tree Agate. 

Dendritic agate is the stone of plenty and abundance. It has been known to be buried in soil of garden beds and farm lands to promote healthy and large yields from crops. 

This stone resembles the branches of a tree or plant and in turn is known for healing the skeletal, nervous and vascular system, which also 'branch' out in us. 

It is a great stone of protection and inner peace.  It promotes a peaceful environment. Great fo those with a green thumb. 

I love looking at the patterns of this agate. This stone and I have had several long moments together. Each time I pick it up to work with it, I find myself getting lost in its patterns and beauty, that I never get anything done! Because of the patterns and how I get lost in it, it is also a great stone for digging deep inwardly.  Use with meditation or self exploration and discovery and in turn healing of the past. 

I will wrap this into a pendant, I really will :)

Until then, I will continue to marvel at nature and her creations with wonderment and amazement.
