Purple for you!...

I have been busy for the last 2 weeks although I had
some time to do somethings to calm my polymer clay fever...

I start sharing some cosmic knowledge about colors.

I use them in my art as well as when I use the Su-jok therapy.

Let us start with purple, I use it a lot lately,
and after knowing more about it- you will be able to guess my state of mind...





Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

You can use bright purple when promoting children's products.

Purple focal bead

The Feng Shui is saying:

In your feng shui color applications, Color Purple should be used with moderation. It is a very strong, high vibration color, the color of connection to the spiritual realms (7th chakra.)

Feng shui-wise, it is not recommended as a wall color. Many feng shui masters believe that color Purple on the wall (or an overwhelming amount of it in any feng shui decor applications) may trigger blood disease. True or not, Purple is a very high vibration color and the feng shui advice is to use it sparingly.

The only feng shui spaces purple color can be used freely are a healing room or a meditation space.

Violet is the color associated with the Crown Chakra.
This chakra is the main co-oridination center of the body
and ensures you are connected to universal sources of energy.

Purple gemstons-Amethyst , Fluorite , Sugilite , Lepidolite , Charoite.

Have a Purple day!!

The unique day- 07.07.07

By the Kabbala this day has the energy for healing,
for good health for the whole year.


I cured myself by going with my son to the old city of Akko (Acre),
in the north part of Israel, near the sea.

The weather was hot and humid but for me going to a market of an old city
is always a celebration!

Polymer clay scrap "retro" project

I have just bought a clay-gun after long time I wanted it...
Here is my first use of it, shared with you.

Start with making groups by colors and put them together.



Then make balls out of it without even trying to mix the colors.(the easy way...)





Roll them each to a cane shape and put them side by side...a colorful snake!!




Put the snake in the clay gun and start to "inject" it.

A smooth and long snake will come out of the gun!




After having the hole snake out- start cut it to ~ 2.0" long pieces

and put them on a line .




Then start put them as you like...


and start to Reduce with the side palm of your hands to prevent scrap...

(This is my friend Tami Shvat's system)


Cut the reduced can to half (this is my favorite part! the surprise!...)

and enjoy the results!


Wow!!
finished!!

Sunscreen Song befor weekend...

Today some reminded me of a song I really admire,
love the words, so simple and yet sooo smart and cool...

listen to the class of 99 - Sun Screen Song!

Tha great words:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99 (and beyond...)
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experienceI will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;

oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youthuntil they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You're not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future;

or worry, but know that worrying is as effectiveas trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your lifeare apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts,don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy;

sometimes you're ahead,sometimes you're behindthe race is long, and in the end,it's only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;

if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22what they wanted to do with their lives,some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees,you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't,maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't,maybe you'll divorce at 40,maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary,what ever you do, don't congratulate yourselftoo much or be rate yourself eitheryour choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you candon't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own..
Dance even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents,

you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings;

they are the best link to your past and the peoplemost likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestylebecause the older you get,the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once,but leave before it makes you hard;

live in Northern California once,but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise,politicians will philander,you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasizethat when you were young prices were reasonable,politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you.

Maybe you have a trust fund,maybe you have a wealthy spouse;but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair,or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy,but, be patient with those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia,dispensing it is a way of fishing the pastfrom the disposal, wiping it off,painting over the ugly parts and selling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen!
