I felt inspired to create something in yellow, so I created a crocheted tank in a buttery yellow which is very reminiscent of the 70's...
and with the left over wool, I made this cloche...again very 70's...
my passion for yellow led me to look up all the gorgeous shades of yellow, which brought up references to the robes that Tibetan monks wear...
yellow, goldenrod, gold, saffron, orange...
which are coincedentally all of the colors of marigolds...which range from pale yellow to maroon!
a colorful thangka...with as many shades of yellow as the monks above...
fluorescent yellow in the hats of these monks onlooking a mandala painting...
Tibetan prayer flags...
and so I learn that in Tibetan Buddhism, yellow is the color of earth, and thus a symbol of rootedness and the equanimity of the earth...
