Old Holland Classic Oil Colours.MMmmmmm - glorious, dearest @kesityu.fashion !! I've used stone (cold) ground pigments for the majority of my art years (over 35 now), and have revelled every time an order arrived in the mail: the colours are so profoundly clear, natural and True! I couldn't use any other product, as it is so inferior... The natural colours endure so much longer also... I didn't make many of my own paints in my life, because I could find good ones via e.g.
On the subject of jade: my experience is with jade eggs for vaginal healing: - de-armouring, strengthening, releasing trauma, awakening the cervix, pleasure, etc.... Jade in particular is intimately connected with the deep feminine, and the healing of the core of the female being (which has been so occulted and anaesthetised in our modern cultures).
There's a lot more to it, but of all the kinds of stone eggs or wands one can use in feminine healing, the jade is the one traditionally most appropriate - alongside rose quartz - for deep self care, relating to womb.
My sense is of opening subtle energies - similar to rose flowers - and communications within the female body; it's a subtle activator and bringer-together of parts of us that have been separated/ traumatised/ numbed.
:-) Blessings on this beautiful work that you are doing with paints!
Thats super interesting, what you know about Jade! Makes me even more into it:) kind of adds up to the positive picture I had of it anyways... Hmm now that I am thinking of it, by the look it almost reminds of moon-stone as well, Isnt that one very connected to feminine energy as well? (well I guess I am a bit of a tourist when it comes to stones, but find it super interesting anyway)
Aah yes, I had a quick look at their website, seems like they would have any shade of any colour you could wish for:)
I can Imagine the excitement when the pigments arrive by post...🙃
