Number 3 / Yellow

Here is my ATC on number 3. Yesterday Vic asked me which glitter I used And Lolo how I scanned these glitter works. Here are the answers: I have loads of glitter and use all kinds of I love glitter gelpens. In this mandala I used my favourite glitter liner. It is from Marabu and is far out the best! The tubes are more expensive than the regular glue glitters but they work very precise and I love the result, so I think they are worth the money. And Lolo, I hardly ever scan my work, I always take pictures with my D60. I bought a flash difuser and that is really worth the money. Just enough flash not too much. The big mandalas I always photograph outside but these do well with a little flash. Here some info on yellow (repost) Hope and Happiness: Yellowis sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit. Nature of Yellow: Yellow is one of the warm colors. Because of the high visibility of bright yellow, it is often used for hazard signs and some emergency vehicles. Yellow is cheerful. Culture of Yellow: For years yellow ribbons were worn as a sign of hope as women waited from their men to come marching home from war. Today, they are still used to welcome home loved ones. Its use for hazard signs creates an association between yellow and danger, although not quite as dangerous as red. Yellow symbolizes wisdom. Yellow means joy and happiness. People of high intellect favor yellow. Yellow daffodils are a symbol of unrequited love. Sunday's color is yellow-gold. When yellow is your favorite color, you are filled with a zest for life. You love to go out and have fun, whether it's taking part in sports, or dancing the night away. You are an optimist and have many friends. You have a playful spirit.Yellow is associated with the number Yellow is the color of the Solar Plexus Chakra, also known as Manipura. This chakra is located in the stomach area. It is linked to the stomach, liver, skin, large intestine, muscular system, and solar plexus area. The Solar Plexus Chakra is representative of vitality and will. When this chakra is open, it acts to empower a person and help them find their personal strength. It will help turn dreams and goals into reality. Gemstones that will aid the Solar Plexus Chakra include amber and citrine. More yellow? All about the color yellow Geel is de kleur van blijdschap,warmte, een rijke oogst,en vruchtbaarheid. Het is de vrolijkste en zonnigste van alle kleuren en heeft een positieve invloed op het zenuwstelsel.Geel is een kleur die opvalt, ze bevat het meeste licht van alle kleuren. Doordat ze zo opvallend is, wordt geel vaak gebruikt in de reclame of als signaalkleur in het verkeer en in de techniek. Gele auto’s zijn dankzij het feit dat ze opvallen, ook minder betrokken bij verkeersongelukken.Om die reden zijn Nederlandse ambulances ook geel.Geel is ook de kleur van wijsheid, groot denkvermogen en hoge intelligentie. Ze activeert de hersenen, zet aan tot werkzaamheid. Geel is de kleur van creativiteit en fantasie en is ook een goed middel tegen neerslachtigheid. Wie geel als favoriete kleur heeft, streeft naar veelzijdigheid, tracht voortdurend zijn of haar kennis uit te breiden, is geestelijk levendig en reist graag.Geel hoort bij het getal Geel staat in verband met het zonnevlechtchakra, dat centraal staat in de kracht van ons zelfbewustzijn als individu en onze band met de rest van de mensheid. De zonnevlechtchakra vertegenwoordigt onze zon, ons krachtcentrum. Hier nemen we de energie van de zon op, die onder meer ons etherisch lichaam voedt. Wanneer dit chakra geopend is en harmonieus functioneert, verleent hij een gevoel van vredigheid, innerlijke harmonie met jezelf, het leven en je plaats daarin. Hij geeft ons de kracht om te handelen, geeft een goed gevoel van eigenwaarde, een warme persoonlijkheid en in staat zijn om uitdagingen het hoofd te bieden.

  3. Wonderful Marianne, I do love this piece a lot, too. I am feeling the pull back into the studio, but I seem to be having some problems getting in there again. :)

    This is great for you to share all of this information on the specific hues and the materials you use. I need to see if I can find a flash diffuser for my camera...it would make a huge difference!

    Lovely work!
