Colour: Yellow

The last primary colour is yellow..... sunshine!

In the UK at the moment the sun has been missing in rain for a very long time... we had a glimpse of it on Sunday.... but now we are back in a world of rain clouds and water....

So to cheer everyone up lets look at yellow as a colour!

Yellow is the colour of butter, bananas, gold and sunshine!

It is a colour that always makes me smile.

Like red and blue, there are lots of shades of yellow:

As a colour it represents reason, optimism, pleasure and happiness - you only have to think how to feel on a sunny day.On a sunny day the whole world feels like a much better place!

But it also has negative connections too. It is associated with cowardice, envy, jealousy and betrayal. Yellow as the colour of cowardice since the 19th century, but the exact reason it is associated with cowardice is not known.

In China it has major significance as it is the colour of happiness, glory and wisdom. It is a masculine colour.

Yesterday got away from me and I didn't manage to make my block.

On Friday it was Cursive F's, which were quite easy and lovely to move around on the machine.

Today it is Dresden Daisies.

It is quite an easy design to learn, but hard to master!

My flowers are really uneven, but I do like the design.

I also found it easier to form the flowers with the block moving forwards and backwards as apposed to the left to right motion Leah uses - that may be my foot, it is easier to see me work in that direction.

Such a pretty design though!
