Searching for Roy G Biv II: Blue Update #2

 I've been having quite a relationship with the color BLUE this month! Lots of painted and printed BLUE fabrics for projects and to sell. My contribution to the Search this month had me looking back to an amazing outdoor sculpture I discovered during a morning walk in San Francisco on a brilliant BLUE day.

The Search also includes photos from my recent walk around the streets of Old Town Alexandria in Virginia on a VERY rainy day (my sandals are still drying out!).

Two inviting places to sit.

A blue still life in a wonderful tea shop on Union Street.

Love this shutter--all askew.

The ubiquitous hydrangea, enjoying a good dousing of rain.

 If you are new to the Search for Roy (the colors of the rainbow), it's a little game that Jennifer Q and I came up with in the spring of 2012. Each month, we search for a particular color of the rainbow. This month it happens to be BLUE. Post up to five BLUE photos (it's okay if you do more) and leave a comment here or at Jennifer's blog and we will link to your blog. Or if you don't have a blog, send your photos to me in an email and I will post them for you here. You have until Saturday, June 22 (midnight Eastern USA time) to post.

 In addition, each month I create a Challenge Fabric in the color of the month. Here is my BLUE fabric.

By playing along, you have the opportunity to win this fabric in a drawing on Sunday, June 23.

Hope to see lots of BLUE today!

Check out the BLUES happenin' at Jennifer's blog this month (she's been having a love affair with BLUE and boy does it show!).

Deb at saltbushstitch was an early bird this month, posting her BLUES a day early!

Charlton Stitcher has a delightful tour of BLUE from her recent trip to Scotland.

Kim at Letting in the Light has an eclectic selection of BLUES and one in particular that is dear to her heart (congratulations, Kim!)

Fiona at Paper Ponderings has a thought-provoking BLUE.   

Liz has a deep twilight BLUE that draws you in.

Maya has an assortment of cobalt BLUES...but I can't get over that fish! 

Cindi at The Organic Manic joined the Search this month. She found herself surrounded by BLUE...which happens to be one of her favorite colors. 

Lisa at arzigogolare has joined in with some up-in-the-air and earthly BLUES.
ffff

Searching for Roy G Biv II: Green Update #3

Love this little green bird on her green perch.

Green fence and shadows.

Soft greens from a neighborhood walk.

Luminous green.

Luscious green grapes from the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, San Francisco.

Green tomatoes also from the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building, San Francisco.

It's that time of the month again! Time to post your photos for this month's Search for Roy G Biv (the colors of the rainbow). As you can see this month's color is GREEN.

To play along just post some GREEN photos by midnight, Saturday, May 18th (Eastern USA time) and make a comment here. I will link back to your blog or  website or Flickr. If you have none of those, feel free to email me (threadborn@gmail) with your photos and I will post them here.

Looking forward to seeing all the variety (remember, tints and shades encouraged!) of GREENS today.

Here again is this month's Challenge fabric. The drawing will be on Sunday, May 19th. In order for your name to go into the hat, you must play along.

Be sure to take a look at my Roy co-host (or is it cohort?!) Jennifer's blog for D.C. GREENS.

Kim at Letting in the Light has created a lovely bit of GREEN.

Fiona at Paper Ponderings is pondering a great Picasso quote and abstract GREEN this month.

Some lovely organic GREENS from Margaret over at Charlton Stitcher. 

Maya at Million Little Stitches has a selection of hot summer GREENS. 

Lisa at arzigogolare has some edible psychedelic fractal GREENS (perfectly legal!). GREEN Part 2 features getting up close and personal with olive trees...with a Part 3 yet to come!

Deb at saltbushstitch has some gorgeous sea glass GREENS.
