Purple

Lately a lot of purple has been coming up. In my paintings, in my clothes, everywhere. I've just been really attached to purple. I've been making things purple and seeing purple anywhere.

Thanks to the Wiki, I found that the first purple pigments, called Tyrian purple, came from mollusks, which are pretty spirally. More spirals have been happening lately too, partially in drawings.

According to Wiccan beliefs:
Dark Purple= 'used for calling up the power of ancient ones'
Lavender= 'to invoke righteous spirit within yourself; favors for people'

Almost 75 percent of pre-adolescent children prefer purple to all other colors, making bright purple effective for promotion of children's products. Light purple is useful for feminine designs. Excessive exposure to purple may cause people to become sullen, withdrawn and ill-at-ease with their surroundings. Purple is a polarising colour - people either love it or hate it.
