Recently I've discovered a love for turquoise. A year ago you may of managed to get me to mumble a positive comment regarding this startling colour, however before then I would of shouted my distaste at viewing turqouise, particularly in home decor. But, I have reformed! I love it. Turquoise & chocolate. wow. The combination makes me dream. It evokes a feeling of enchantment and calmness. It is definately a luxurious colour when applied sparingly and with reserved deep hues. Apparently the Aztecs were fans of the mineral; as such they adorned their homes & selves with it. Perhaps the history of turquoise summons romantic notions affecting our senses to feel wonderfully glorious in its presence. The connection to a past Mesoamerican empire definately stirs images of great warriors and unrestrained wilderness. Or maybe i'm just a wreckless romantic.
I however still dislike turquoise jewellry. blach. especially with gold. bad taste ppl. You will never catch me wearing turqoise, unless of course you are a Aztec warrior presenting me with a turquoise embedded knife or mask proclaiming your unyielding love for me & my beautiful brain. Any way I look at it now, turquoise opens a small glow of happiness in the pit of my soul. I may not wear it, but you will see splashes of its vibrance in my craft designs.
