A little red violet and a guest too!

Hi there! Project 64 contributor Shana is a little busy making her transition back to the states, she thought it would be nice to share her day with one of our participants! I thought it was a great idea so I invited not only one of our participants but one of our newest sponsors too! I give you Cindy of WyTography and WyBeadery! 

Everyone collects something, right?  For me, it's always been colored glass bottles.  I love exquisite shapes, interesting textures, off-the-wall colors, and occasionally the odd antique.  At my previous house, I had amassed a huge collection of over 300 bottles, all of which were crammed into every square inch of the space above my kitchen cabinets and window sills.  When we moved to Skiatook a few years ago, I downsized significantly; I now only have enough for two window sills.  You can bet that each one of the bottles I brought with me in the move are beloved for their character, shape, or color.  My submission for red-violet is no exception.  I absolutely adore the hobnail texture of this nearly two-foot tall bottle, not to mention the genie-in-a-bottle shape.  Hooray for garage sales...I think I paid $3 for it!  It now acts as a prism in my bathroom window above the tub next to a couple dozen other beauties.

 I want to thank Brooke and all of the other ladies for inviting me to be a guest on P64 this week!  My photography skills have improved immensely since I've been linking up every week, and photography has quickly become my new obsession.  My first creative love has always been jewelry-making.  I'll be sponsoring weeks 17-20 with one of my handmade creations!  Click on the button below to see my whole portfolio!

Happy Color Hunting!

Red Violet {Kendall}

Hellllooooo!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day today.  I am.  It is good to see the sun after a few days of gloom.  It is amazing how much weather can affect your overall mood.

Ok, let's be real, most of the color that we have had so far have been weird.  We associate their names with a totally different color than what they are.  It is sometimes WAY off!  This week is a little weird too.

Here is my first shot:

My Christmas present to myself.  I love her.  I am sure it's not right or ethical or whatever to love inanimate objects, but who cares.  I love her.  I have a lot of purses and my favorites are Coach purses.  My husband always threatens to have a purse party at our house....a purse party where he sells my purses!  Really?!?  Who thinks that is a good idea?  Not me.  I do have to admit though, while I do love Coach purses, I have never paid over $100 for one because I love a good bargain!

Here is another photo and it actually matches almost perfectly:

I did this lovely girl's senior pictures on Saturday.  We had a great time.  Sometimes I wonder if the color of an object I choose is really close to the color so I will check this handy little site that has the color codes on it.  It helps me to figure out if I am on the right track!  Sometimes I am...and sometimes I am WAY off.

Ok, enough of my babbling, I have a little curly-haired boy and a husband that are waiting on me for lunch.  I look forward to your questions!  I will answer them all, even embarrassing ones, so ask away!

Have a great week!
Kendall

Pacific Blue Link up and Wk 17 Color Reveal

Hey all you color hunters! Sorry for not posting the link up yesterday, I thought Project 64 needed a day off in honor of the Easter Holiday. Just a little side note, I try to let everyone know if a post will be delayed or late on our Facebook page, so make sure you like our page!

So that means today we will have a day full of color...Our favorite from the magenta link up, the new link up for pacific blue and the reveal of our new color!

Are you all ready to get started! Magenta was kind of fun, it was  nice to see such a bright cheery color, especially since it's been raining for about a week in my nic of the woods, although very grateful for the rain, it was much needed, just a little dreary and makes me very sleepy! Our favorite out of your magenta submissions come from Scott over at My Photo Adventures, we thought it was a unique interpretation of magenta and a nice find as well! Make sure you visit and give some love! Congrats Scott and thanks for playing along here at Project 64!

We really do enjoy seeing everyone's take on the week's color! Keep spreading the word and keep linking up! The more the merrier on this colorful journey! Today also means we are taking another color out of our box and can you believe we are now a quarter of the way though our box of 64 crayons! This week we are officially pulling crayons out of the second sleeve of colors! This week my wonderful hubby selected the beautiful color of RED VIOLET, not to be confused with violet red! As we journey through the box it is crazy how many different shades there are and at times seems a little tedious when matching the colors, but remember to just have fun and get as close as you can!

Since we've been rained in I found my red violet in my boys' toy box. One of them received it as a birthday gift, its a simple toy, no bells or whistles, but they both like it. A little reminder that kids today still like the simple things...it also reminds me of being a kid and the long waits at the doctors office, funny how different objects hold different memories!

I went with how the color looks on paper verses the color of the crayon, when I held them next to each other they were pretty close! As you know, each week I try to add a little extra challenge...well this week I thought I'd something a little different! I thought it might be fun to have a little Q&A! Give you guys a chance to get to know me, as well as the other project 64 contributors, a little better! After my post today feel free to leave a question for me, it can be about the blog or blogging, photography, motherhood, being a woman, my favorite color, anything you might want to know....next week I'll try to answer most or all of them in my blog post! Make sure you come back every day this week and leave some questions for the other project 64 ladies at the end of their post! We love you guys and love interacting with you all so please ask away! Also I know we have lots of followers who just follow and do not submit entries, you are more than welcome to join in on the Q&A! I can't wait!

I hope your hunt for red violet goes well, but in the meanwhile, let's see your pacific blue finds!!
