Searching for Roy G Biv II: Red

Maine strawberry

I spent more time searching through old photos this month as I didn't have much time to go out on a real hunt for RED. Add a bit of creative cropping for some of these and here you have it!

My favorite framed print. It hangs in my kitchen.

Peppers at the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, San Francisco.

For those of you new to this monthly game, please post up to five RED photos and make a comment here with a way to link back to your blog, website or flickr page. You have until midnight, Saturday, February 23 to comment. I'll post updates during this time. If you don't have a blog, website or flickr page, send your photos to my email address (threadborn@gmail.com) and I will post them here. Remember, this round of Roy we are encouraging tints and shades...so if you love pink...go for it!


This is the Challenge Fabric, that will go to a lucky Challenge player. I'll put the names in a hat on Sunday and will post the winner at that time...Good Luck and looking forward to lots of RED!

Check out Roy Challenge co-creator, Jennifer Q's blog for more inspiring REDS.

Fiona at Paper Ponderings has an artistic RED.

Karen Anne Glick has a pinky RED.

India Flint has a walkabout of REDS.

Maya at Million Little Stitches is playing along with some lovely maroon-y REDS.

Lisa at arzigogolare gives us glimpses of RED from her favorite rose garden in Florence. She promises to share more in the days ahead.

Kim Henkel has a beautiful accordion book featuring RED pressed geraniums. Be sure to check it out!

I'm drooling over Susan's yummy REDS.

Deb squeezed in with some last minute REDS...love the seaglass!

Here are Joan's RED photos:

    1. Hi Maya- So glad you joined in! It is fun to see what everyone comes up with each month. It's also fun to take your camera and set about on the search. I enjoyed seeing your reds this morning.

  2. So glad you are starting the Roy G Biv challenge again. I first met Roy G while working at Sears. He has been keeping my closet in order every since.

    1. I think that's my favorite as well. Was a bit pressed for time this month...focus was more on the newsletter and upcoming classes.

  4. Hi Juie - I recognise that bird - it's a crimson rosella! Our bird life is often wildly coloured over here. I love your red fabric - and like Jennifer - the strawberry shot in particular.

    1. Hi Fiona- You can thank Joan for the Crimson Rosella photo. I am hoping that a trip to Australia is in my future. It's always been a land of mystery to me. I'm always fascinated when you show photos of different places in Australia in your posts. So glad you like the Challenge fabric!

  5. Such nice 'reds', Julie! It's always a surprise to see a strawberry up so close - you notice things that aren't necessarily evident when they're all piled together in a basket or bowl. And the shades of your fabric for the gallery are gorgeous (also those in the challenge fabric).
    I just posted my 'official' RED photos, and you'll see the little siblings of your pretty peppers - peperoncini - among them...

  6. I hope I'm not too late to join the search for Roy G Biv? It is already the 24th here in Australia! I thought this challenge would be fun and push me to take a few more photos.

    1. Hi Deb- Since it just turned midnight here ( I really need to get to be!)- I'll put your name in the drawing for the fabric. BTW loved the red seaglass!

  7. Thank you Julie. I don't mind if I'm not included in the draw. I just wanted to be part of this interesting challenge. There are some great photos of some very interesting things!

  8. Hi Julie,
    Thanks for including me in your post.I hadn't passed my name on to you, as I didn't follow the rules (I had 6 pics instead of 5), but I had fun doing it, and your finding red challenge was the inspiration for the booklet! I too love your images (mouthwatering strawberry!!)

    1. Hi Kim- Jennifer and I have always been a bit "loose" with the rules about the number of photos. I think we just wanted to set some guidelines...but if you are on a roll please feel free to take more! I'm so glad that you decided to join in for red (and what a wonderful piece of art you made to celebrate it!). Hope you will continue along with the rest of the colors. It's been a great way to get to know people and view their talents.
