Colours That Speak

Red declares passionate devotion
The most urgent message a woman can send through glass and thread — scarlet beads that ache with longing.
Blue pledges unwavering fidelity
A promise of loyalty that endures across distance, through silence, past all doubt — the dove-coloured thread.
Yellow speaks of generous wealth
Abundance meant to be shared, never hoarded — warmth and prosperity strung into golden rows.
Black holds marriage and mourning
Both the solemnity of union and the quiet ache of loss, woven as one in a single dark thread.
