Colour shapes our world in profound, if sometimes subtle, ways. It helps us to classify, form opinions, and make aesthetic and emotional judgements. Colour operates in every culture as a symbol, a metaphor, and as part of an aesthetic system. Yet archaeologists have traditionally subordinated the study of colour to the form and material value of the objects they find and thereby overlook its impact on conceptual systems throughout human history.This book explores the means by which colour-based cultural understandings are formed, and how they are used to sustain or alter social relations. From colour systems in the Mesolithic, to Mesoamerican symbolism and the use of colour in Roman Pompeii, this book paints a new picture of the past. Through their close observation of monuments and material culture, authors uncover the subtle role colour has played in the construction of past social identities and the expression of ancient beliefs. Providing an original contribution to our understanding of past worlds of meaning, this book will be essential reading for archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, as well as anyone with an interest in material culture, art and aesthetics.

We have listed some useful tips below to advise you on how to care for your jewellery- Remove your jewellery before engaging in any practical activities and we do not recommend sleeping in your jewellery. Store your jewellery in the jewellery box provided to you with your purchase, or your own storage, to protect from scratching, tangling and tarnishing. Use a soft lint-free cloth to clean your jewellery. For a deeper wash, soak in warm soapy water and use a very soft toothbrush to scrub. Skin and hair products can react with jewellery causing it to tarnish and discolour. This can also ruin pearls. We strongly advise applying any cosmetics and scents before you put on your jewellery. Gemstones can scratch with regular wear, so care must be taken with these items.

Showcases the huge archive of Turkey red patterns and samples In both the scope and detail of the new research and in the focus on textile manufacturer's pattern books, the project, of which this is the book, was a unique undertaking Will be of interest to textile and fashion historians and craft workers such as quiltersColouring the Nation is a collaborative project between National Museums Scotland and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh. By looking at decorative textiles manufacturing, its aim was to show that Scotland once played a key role in the production of fashionable fabrics in an industry employing thousands of workers.Turkey red was a complex dyeing process that produced a fast and washable shade of red that was overprinted with exotic patterns and sold internationally, from North America and the West Indies, to India and China. The fabrics were made for clothing, such as saris, shawls, and bandanas, and for furnishing. When synthetic dyes replaced the madder-based Turkey red, the industry in Scotland collapsed.An archive of 200 pattern books and approximately 40,000 textile samples was acquired in 1960 by National Museums Scotland. This book tells the history of the industry, with examples of these gorgeous fabrics.

Primarily focused on idioms and other figurative phraseology, Colouring Meaning describes how the meanings of established phrases are enhanced, refocused and modified in everyday language use. Unlike many studies of creativity in language, this book-length survey addresses the matter at several levels, from the purely linguistic level of collocation, through its abstractions in colligation and semantic preference, to semantic prosody and connotation. This journey through both linguistic and cognitive levels involves the examination of habitual language and its exploitations, both mundane and colourful, explaining the phenomena observed in terms of current psycholinguistic research as well as corpus linguistics theory and analysis. The relationships between meaning in text and meaning in the mind are discussed at length and extensively illustrated with worked case studies to offer the reader a comprehensive overview of metaphorical and other secondary meanings as they emerge in real-world communicative situations.

It brings together hundreds of recipes and treatments previously scattered in a variety of old books and technical papers, and provides the artist-craftsman with a very wide range of coloured finishes.Each of the recipes included has been tested and evaluated by the authors, and the practical procedures involved are clearly explained.

Notes accompanying each recipe draw attention to potentially dangerous processes or chemicals, and to the correct safety precautions. Safety procedures in general are covered thoroughly in a separate section.Detailed information on practical workshop methods and how to avoid any problems that may be encountered is given in sections on the various techniques. A glossary of archaic chemical terms and their modem equivalents is included. An historical introduction outlines the various metalworking traditions with which the use of colouring techniques is associated. An extensive bibliography gives over 400 references of historical, practical and theoretical interest.

Colouring It Forward -- Discover Blackfoot Nation Art and Wisdom is more than just a colouring book. It contains authentic artwork from Blackfoot artists and teachings from the Blackfoot culture by a Blackfoot elder. It is the first in a series of books which will each be focused on a different First Nation and its art and teachings. For this first book in the series, I’ve had the privilege of working with Blackfoot Elder Camille Pablo Russell to gather traditional wisdom and with the incredibly talented Blackfoot artists Kalum Teke Dan and Ryan Jason Allen Willert, all of whom have been very generous and giving of their time. Inside this colouring book, you will find the Elder’s teachings and the stunning images created by Kalum and Ryan, which have been recreated for you to add your own artistic touch. With each image is a place for you to journal as you colour. I would thrilled If you would like to share your art, your stories or ideas for new books or projects on my Facebook and Instagram pages. To honour the gifts I have received through this project, a portion of the proceeds of sales will go to the contributing artists and to any elders sharing their wisdom. A further portion of the proceeds will be invested in projects for First Nations people. These projects need to create opportunities for employment, improve small businesses or lead to higher education. Please contact me on Facebook if you have an idea for new projects or a proposal for funding.
