Indigo {Linkup}

I hope you all have had a great week! Each week I am so amazed by your color finds and how creative you  all are! I would of never imagined that of all colors apricot would be so prevalent or be found in such beautiful things, like beautiful sunsets, loving pets, and everyday things. Some of you even managed find apricot hiding in the season of love and some of you found apricot hiding in good memories! Who knew a color we seem to forget about or turn our noses up to could actually be beautiful!

Our favorite this week comes from the photostream of Tammy Lee Bradley....

Thank you Tammy for linking up with us every week! We love your still life of apricot, the flower, the book, it all works so well! Congrats!

Make sure you head on over and give Tammy some love!

So, how did the hunt for Indigo go? Did you get stumped by this elusive shade of blue? How many of you finally broke down and bought a box of 64 count crayons? Did you accept the added challenge and try new angles and perspectives?

We are so excited to see your beautiful photos for Indigo and we are ready for the challenge of picking  a favorite! The linky tool has worked out most of the issues they were having last week, but he is still working on a few things and said the linky might be a little slow, but you all should still be able to linkup and add your photos!

As always no fancy camera required and Flickr link-ups welcome!When you link up please use the DIRECT LINK/POST containing your photo, if posting multiple pictures designate the one you are submitting and be sure to link back to us!

 

Indigo {Shana}

This week we have been on vacation in Steamboat, CO. It has been a week full of skiing, eating, games and shopping. We have been coming here for the past 5 years and can't seem to get enough of this family atmosphere. 

The people around me that know about our little project love to help me find the subject for the week. This little bowl was found by my sister in law and it turned out perfect. 

Still accepting posts for Apricot. Feel free to jump into our project anytime, we would love to have you!

Indigo!

I thought this one would be easy...and then I let the day get away from me.  It's just been one of those days!

Anyway, this is an old photo, but one of my favorites from our first family vacation this summer and it has the perfect color...or so I think.  I hope you are all finding lots of inspiration in the world around you for this project.  It is amazing all the colors around us when you just take the time to look!  Just like Brooke's photos of the carton of eggs.  We take these colors for granted!  How lucky we are to live in a world of color.

As I have been every single week, I am in awe of your photos.  I love each of them and they are all so unique.  I took a peek at the ones posted so far and would just like to give a little love to Susan at Happy No Ears.  I am loving the subtlety of the apricot in the background.  Great job and I love the texture too!

I look forward to all of your photos!  Don't forget, it's not too late to catch up.

Week 7, Color Reveal {Brooke}

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to you all! In the short time yesterday's post as been up you all have been very kind and have expressed very nice things about your fellow participants and project 64. Thank you for always supporting each other and taking time to share the love!

I also wanted to let you know that I had to delete two entries for the Apricot linkup, nothing was wrong with the photos, but there was an issue with the links. The either were not working at all or the link was wrong. So, if it was your entry I deleted just email me and let me know and feel free to re-link you post back to the Apricot link up with the proper working links. If you are having trouble linking up or not sure how to do it, then please email me and I will try my best to walk you through it!

I am amazed the apricot finds that have been linked up so far! It is definitely a tough color to match, but you all are doing so well! If you thought apricot was a tough color to match, just wait....this week's color is a shade of blue that leaves you thinking you've found just the right shade, but when you compare it to the color it's not even close! I used this crayon to write with and color with all week, I have scribbled notes and splashes of it on scrap papers everywhere. As I sit here typing this I can see all the object surrounding me that containing shades of blue that I attempted to match to this shade but with no luck...

Ok, here is the crazy shade of blue we are going to be  hunting this week...

It's tricky because the actual crayon looks so dark, almost navy like, but when you start to color with it you get a color that is close to your true blue color but with purplish tint to it. I searched high and low for this and thought I had it a few times, but when I went to open my photos they were either cobalt blue or blue blue. So this morning I was getting the milk out of the fridge and found this...

A carton of eggs, really? The strip of dark blue and the darker blue writing all over the carton was the closest shade of Indigo I could find...

I hope you all have fun hunting for this crazy shade of blue and if you want an added challenge, when you do finally find Indigo hiding somewhere in your world, get a little creative and try playing with angles and perspective! Shooting from different angles and giving a different perspective to something is another way to get out of your box.

I hope you all have a great Valentine's day! If you have time head on over to Mortal Muses and read my guest post, we are musing on evidence of love!

Happy coloring!

Brooke
