Green  is not a primary color, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue. On a color wheel based on traditional color theory the complementary color to green is considered to be red.

The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, “to grow”. It is used to describe plants or the ocean. Sometimes it can also describe someone who is inexperienced, jealous, or sick. In the United States of America, green is a slang term for money, among other things.

Culturally, green has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy, or the devil. The most common associations, however, are found in its ties to nature.
Green is also associated with regeneration, fertility and rebirth for its connections to nature.

Your GREENS are just luxurious !! Love what you do! ANd love the pieces I own by you!!

Do you hand weave the baskets yourself ?
The flowers are they for your hair , or can you clip them to clothing.

There is so much detail in every piece that you have shown

Wonderful info about the color green and, of course, I love your work since we work in the same medium. The cathedral window is great.
