Turquoise

I have been in a turquoise frame of mind lately.  So enjoying the
deep soothing color as well as the stone the color is named after...

The Navajo believe the stone is the child of Father Sky (taking on His color) 

and Mother Earth (the substance of Her).

Which is part of why they love it so much...

I love the different shades of turquoise Native American jewelry comes in.

From emerald green to soft baby blue.

But I don't just love the stone,  I love the color as well...

I have a few pieces of furniture in shades of turquoise...

But I still had to try and make a painting of a turquoise door,

Here is a beautiful Guatemalan Mola in shades of turquoise...

Look at the details in the embroidery...

And of course Indian saris are so lovely in turquoise...

Really anything is so pretty in those shades...

However like the stone, the Peacock Feather, made by 

Mother Nature is so much better that what humans can create...  

She is pretty amazing!

However I do love it when Mother Nature and humans collaborate...

Sometimes we make a good team.
