Shades of Red

Hi Guys, I must say it is about time for me to do another Etsy Showcase, for the first one for this year I believe red is a good theme choice! Besides as you know Valentines Day is coming soon! Red has been a constant in my life and I think I was born to be dressed in red! There is a picture of me wearing a red dress at a very young age. From the start I think my mum put me in red almost from the day I was born, at least at 18 months old, my big sister got into the act and bought me this cute dress. The shades of red I have picked that I am most attracted to are deep dark reds blood, garnet, and burgundy through to the bright reds like cherry reds then to pinkish reds.

When I am doing these themes I like to find objects I would like to have or that are appealing pieces. I like them to interest my readers as well. You must look at these wonderful stores; they have lots more delightful items in their collections.

The stores in this Etsy Showcase are:

AAA Real Gem, Flat Bird, Sand Maiden, Blooming Couture, Bethany Lorelle, Peanut Butter Dynamite, Likron, Ezza Exclusive, Lunar Lounge Design, Granny's Thimble, Spruce Home, The Secret Boutique, Hydra Heart, Womyn, Art Lab, Amy Hatch, YY Studio, Loretari, Candy Bead, Marie's Cosy Cushions, Unearthed, Toy Breaker, Ruby Pearl, Rossana Fani, The Leather Store, Dryan327, Prizy Sebastian, Kanokwalee, Romantic Threads.

“A little fact on red- a warm colour is the colour of energy, excitement and vitality. It is also a good grounding colour. Red is a powerful healing agent for healing diseases of the blood and circulation. It will also help with depression but it can raise blood pressure or anxiety. Red, used in a large space, can be welcoming, energising and invigorating, but it can radiate aggression. Red, in a small space, can be cosy, intimate, or claustrophobic.” Internet source

Update

I know I have been very dreadfully slack with abandoning my blog, it was the holiday season. I hope you all had a great Christmas and you were not naughty to Santa and got many goodies. And I hope the start to New Year has been good as well. Nevertheless, it was not all play I was busy with photographing, editing and uploading. Plus, I was organising some fantastic models to illustrate my jewellery. We had a fun time though my models were getting a bit tired of putting the pieces on and taking them off again. I feel that live models give a better idea of how my jewellery looks in real life. I know seeing examples on real people helps me to make my choice when I am buying jewellery on the internet. Also it gives you a better idea of the sizes and colours and what will go with your clothes.
