Searching for Indigo

 

 

I have been joining Julie and Jennifer in their search for all the colours of the rainbow. 

This month we are looking for the colour I N D I G O

It has been a tough one to find.

 

I started my search on line and asked google to show me INDIGO images,

and I got everything from a brilliant violet, to a deep blue.

 

To me INDIGO is a mixture between a navy blue and a deep purple

and so that is what I decided to search for. 

 

I found it in my image of some lupines,

(and from now on I will say these flowers are indigo in colour and not a purplish blue)

 

 

 

It is also in the lobelia's that I mounted on this rock. 

 

 

Then I challenged myself to create with this colour,

and I decided to make a pair of INDIGO coloured earrings.

 

 

Once I made them, I struggled to photograph them in a way that you can see that they are indeed INDIGO

 

 

They do look a bit more INDIGO here. 

Which is actually the closest to their true colour.

 

 

Then I had too much fun taking pictures of my little wooden giraffe modeling them

that I ran out of time to look for more Indigo. 

 

Make sure to visit Julie and Jennifer to discover more INDIGO.

 

(INDIGO has become a new favourite word that was rarely in my vocabulary before this month!)
