Colour finds us.

It's funny how colour finds us.


I was watching a film a few days ago called 'Cloud Atlas', I still have no clue what on earth it was about but anyway, there's a scene where this futuristic girl is wearing the most beautiful purple shawl and she kneels next to a green wall. I can't remember why she did that but the point is that I so enjoyed seeing the purple next to that shade of green! .. I guess the film was worth it just for that.

So since then I've been obsessed with green and purple combinations. I walk past a shop everyday which for some reason has a big square lime green block as part of its window display, and each day after I've walked past it, I imagine what I'd do if I could paint on it.
So I decided to give it a go in real life, albeit on a much smaller scale.
Here are my adventures in green and purple!








I've taken up weaving! My dear friend Zoe organised a lesson for my birthday present. I tell you, it's very good for the soul. I don't mind the monotony of it, it's really very good for being grounded in the present.
And guess what colours I'm using for my project? I chose the purple and my teacher suggested the green purely by chance! So there we are. I've only just begun, but I'm super excited to share just how beautifully and lovingly the purple and the green are celebrating their love for each other, constantly intertwining.





To end, here are a couple of photos my daughter Kezia took last week on a rare sunny day with my camera. These beautiful flowers are already making an appearance in February!
Green and purple love is all around!


Much love.
