Color influences everybody'ss emotions (http://www.coloralchemy.com/home.php). Madison Avenue marketing millionaires command its power, as do Hollywood film makers, interior designers, and every artist under the sun. Color affects everything you think, do, and say.
Did you ever wonder why you feel so good spending time with nature Green is nature'ss color, the color of living things. Its balance of warm and cool is easy on the eye and distinguishes it as the color of love and compassion.
Eliminate stress and expense anxiety by gifting loved ones with handmade, live or silk evergreen wreaths (circles are symbols of togetherness and longevity). Instead of traditional red accents, which may cause impatience, use blue (green'ss partner) for more natural inspiration. Just like the color of a crisp, springtime sky, add blue silk flowers, bows, or ornaments for more tranquility.
Spend fewer greenbacks by personalizing handmade gifts with the feel-good aspects of color for everyone on your list. Make custom, colored gifts with specific loved ones in mind.
Think ecology and green energy when creating your gifts to be responsible for the environment at the same time. Do you have any garage-sale treasures that you collected to re-color and re-new (With a $5 investment, a little bronze paint, and tapered-green candles, I converted a rusty candelabra into a one-of a-kind beauty.) Have fun exploring dollar stores, bazaars, and flea markets as colored gems are eager for discovery.
All colors have special life-enhancing benefits. Consider these ideas to get started:
's207; Red/Excites and energizes: Fill a red container with cookies to sweeten the most seasoned sourpuss.
's207; Orange/Inspires play and spontaneity: Make a small, whimsical orange-flower arrangement to brighten a work-aholic'ss desk.
's207; Yellow/commands confidence: Bead a yellow bracelet with special charms for timid children, friends, or co-workers.
's207; Green/lovingly nurtures: Present an IOU with the gift of quality time. Show up with a picnic basket and head off to sit beneath a wise, old tree.
's207; Blue/clears the mind and is thought provoking: Gift your favorite water and sky picture (that you took yourself) in a frame.
's207; Indigo/inspires insight: Make a gift card for an evening walk in the country to count shooting stars.
's207; Violet/quiets and deepens inner peace: Sew an eye pillow in luxurious purple fabric filled with dried lavender.
