It was called the Sky Stone or the Stone of Life due to it's aquatic appearance and even the stone's tendency to slightly change colour such as light and environmental factors, the later being caused mainly by drops in ph.

Native Americans themselves identified the world as living with everything whenever it be man, animal or object to be precious and a part of the world. They believed in this so much their homes were never permanently in one location, as they lived in tipis which like tents are designed to be easily disassembled and moved from one place to the next. Even when hunting they still showed respect as snakes, wolves and other animals were seen as sacred and to only be killed for special occasions and ceremonies. And although deer's would be hunted for their hides and meat, the hamstring would be left behind rather than eaten as a sign of respect for the animal's spirit.

All this is why the material Turquoise was seen to them as being both sacred and extremely valuable to them, more so than gold, silver and other metals and materials rich in America. They would craft the material carefully into jewelry which would be worn more frequently by chieftains and during ceremonies. ]]> 2020-12-08 14:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998066899 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998372242 A colour named after a gemstone, the wording itself is French for Turkish. 

As for the colour itself it's positioned between light blue and green in the colour wheel, though it's closer to blue. This gives the gemstone as well as the colour it's aquatic appearance which is often associated with the sky or and the ocean.]]> 2020-12-08 15:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998372242 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998413715 India and especially the Navajo people see both the material and the colour Turquoise as a symbol of luxury, status and power. In all of India it's also used to repel evil and is rarely used with black which in the same culture represents a lack of desirability (similar to white), negativity, inertia and is most often a symbol of anger and darkness as well as an absence of energy, bareness and death. Something which  Turquoise (both the gemstone and the colour) is the complete opposite of.

In Hindi myth, turquoise is or was believed to grant the user psychic abilities. Though today it's more or less a symbol to attract good, fortune and luck and repel evil, similar to how the cross is seen in Christian faith.

Alongside granting protection, luck and wealth mainly the material turquoise is also a symbol of friendship and truth, similar to how the contrasting colour red is used which is a sign of purity often worn by women.

In general the colour Turquoise, alongside other bright colours in Indian Culture is often positive, though the exception is that Turquoise appears to be more of a symbol of spirituality and faith rather than just a good luck charm.]]> 2020-12-08 15:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998413715 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998694894 2020-12-08 16:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998694894 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998701792 2020-12-08 16:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998701792 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998704131 2020-12-08 16:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998704131 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998714238 2020-12-08 16:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998714238 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998715808 2020-12-08 16:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998715808 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998721956 2020-12-08 16:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/998721956 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/1012625814 2020-12-12 19:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/1012625814 19002883_2 https://padlet.com/19002883_2/lwcnec71vurhqerm/wish/1012626547 I couldn't find much with turquoise and art which really inspired me.

There is lots of tone, contrast and visual noise. Also the face of the rider is blank and the way he is grabbing the horse is quite aggressive. He is holding the riding whip in an equally aggressive way.

I'm somone who likes to be left alone in my own space, and when I'm not doing anything else I like to find a way to keep myself busy and occupied.

I never like to just complain and do nothing nor do I like feeling sorry for myself. I like to set myself tasks where I can work to improve like little milestones.

An example of this is my love of drawing where I draw nearly everyday. I annotate my work to diagnose any errors where it gives me another excuse to reflect on my process.

I also like to watch video games, watch youtube videos, anime, movies etc...

To help myself think I like to get fresh air by taking long walks in places far from towns and villages.
