I love colour and all things eclectic.

This week the weather is beautiful and our feet are bare, we eat outside each and every night; I bought some wool to felt at the farmer's market for four dollars; I dress Poppy in polka dots or in the understated diaper; I have reclaimed a turquoise craft room complete with a clothesline of colourful inspiration;Gramma's sewing machine will be fixed by the weekend; I have stacks of yummy Anna Maria Horner fabrics awaiting their destiny; I am in love {well, to be fair, I am always in love}, we celebrated 2 years of marriage, I turn 29 in less than a week, and I am happy and hopeful.

So in celebration of all of the above and more, this week I challenge you to get as many colours into one frame as you possibly can.  Our life and days are overflowing with possibility so go out and capture it!

Check out our growing Flickr group.  Also blogged at listening and laundry, the gennysent page, minute musings, crunchy cursive, peppermint alley, exhale. return to center, so wabi sabi, earthy crafty mommy, the peacful peacock, of grateful praise, a bespoke life, and soaring studios. Thanks again to all who indulge in this weekly game of connections and exploration!

I would be pretty happy with Anna Maria Horner fabric too. They are lovely. I can't wait to see some of the projects that come out of your wool and fabric.

This is going to be a challenge for me, but it should be fun!

I also blogged last weeks hunt, I love contrast.

Enjoy!

Erin, this is interesting! At first, I thought that this would be easy, because color is what inspires me to create. But after thinking for a few minutes, I realized that in my "real life", I crave soft monotones that soothe. I will have to look beyond my immediate surroundings!

All that color and yarn!!!! I'm going to search high and low for a blast of colors!

I blogged my wild card at www.sowabisabi.com . Thanks as always for the challenge!
Blessings~

I took my picture before knowing what the challenge was however I took it for the same reason. I remember thinking "whoa, there is a lot of color in that pile' and decided to take a picture not being sure what I'd ever do with it. Now I know the reason it was taken.
I love your idea here and posted about it too.
Thanks for the challenge.

[exhale. return to center.]

haven't had a chance to upload my photos yet but i really had fun with this challenge!

being part of this creative experience, seeing all the other inspiring interpretations, and just getting back into a place of really noticing and appreciating the world around me more has been so powerful!

thank you.

This "assignment" inspired me to blog (http://listeningandlaundry.blogspot.com/) twice--once with just a couple of multi-color images and then integrating lots of colors and the idea of contrast from the other week. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm enjoying the thinking that these hunts get started!
