The joy of colour and how therapeutic it can be

As someone who also makes stained glass as well as designing pattern for textiles, I am fascinated by colour. From a holistic point of view colours are associated with the different chakras in the body. Chakras are known to be in balance or out of balance, and it’s possible to realign them with their associated colours. Crystals bearing these colours can be used to promote certain feelings and well-being, the vibrations of the colours benefit different zones in the body. For my textile designs I am drawn to bold and bright colours and looking across the whole range, it’s possible to see that they have a Mid Century Modern feel to them. If you are looking for particular colours with therapy in mind, this is a guide to help you decide where different colours are used throughout my Inkwell Designs collection.
