A day for green
Photo mask available here, by Carina Gardner.
One of the things that most inspired me about blogging has been something that pops up now and then called colour week. With one blogger announcing and hosting the week as it were, by posting photos from their life each with a certain colour as the focus. It sounds simple, and indeed it is, but I’ve always found it such a beautiful little peek into the things we notice every day, especially as I hopped from blog to blog to see how different the photos would be with the same colour at heart. Although it wasn’t something that I found in the circle of scrapbooking blogs, it was something that seemed like such a perfect project for a scrapbooker: taking time to document the colours of our everyday lives with photographs that could be blogged and possibly even end up in a crafty project or scrapbook page.
So this week, I hope you’re ready to pick up your camera. For each of the next seven days, we’ll focus on one colour each day. Get your camera in gear, take photos of that colour and share them with everyone if you would like! Join our Flickr group here, share photos on your blog, add them to the photography gallery at Two Peas or anywhere else you fancy. I have a little prize to give to one person each day…but I also think this is a project you might like even without the prize motivation! (But hey, prizes = fun, so there are still prizes!)
This week will be just about the photos: there will be posts with photos, about photography, and a few special guests will be stopping by to show you their favourite photographs. Next week, I promise there will be crafty goodness to coordinate, so don’t fret! (Plus that might give you time to catch up on a few of the challenges from last week!)
We start today…with the colour green. Take your camera around and see what green you can snap. Mix indoors and out, day and night if you like…and share your favourites. See what stories you find hiding in the greens of your day.
Be sure to leave a comment here with your favourite green shot or a link to your green post elsewhere. I’ll draw a name from all the comments for an 8×10 art print – entries close at the end of June, just like the other Month of Colour challenges.
Can’t wait to see everyone’s green images!
