Searching for Roy G Biv - Orange updated

It's time for the next installment of the never ending quest for Roy G Biv. June's color is orange.

Do you know what my photos are of? Care to hazard a guess? If so, leave a comment by midnight Saturday [my time - eastern standard time USA...now daylight savings time just to confuse]. The person who has correctly identified the most objects will win a piece of my rusty cotton [roughly the size of a fat eighth in quiltling].

Sunday morning, the winner will be posted as well as the original photos of the objects above.

This post will be updated throughout the day to include blogs that are participating in the Search for Roy. If you are joining us or know of someone who is, please let Julie or I know via comment and we'll include that blog on our list too. Enjoy!

Roy G Biv Reminder

Just a reminder for anyone who'd like to join Julie and I in our search for Roy G Biv that the June installment will take place this Thursday, the 21st. June's color is orange.

The guidelines are simple - post photos on your blog of items in the color orange. If you'll let either of us know, via a blog comment, we'll link to your post.

Have I mentioned the contests and prizes yet? To make this even more fun, Julie is creating fabric in each month's color as a give away. Click here to find out how to win a piece of her wonderful hand stamped and dyed fabrics. 

A bit of my rusted cotton will go to the person who can best identify the subjects of my photos. Fiona and Julie were May's winners [and I know that I owe you your fabrics...sorry!] so to be fair, they can guess, but not win this month.

So, get your camera out, take a look around the house or yard...the grocery even...snap a few shots and join us Thursday for the second installment of Searching for Roy G Biv.

Searching for Roy G Biv - green

My friend Julie of the Julie B Booth blog, wrote a post the other day entitled Searching for Roy G Biv which showed the most beautiful yellow hibiscus and included the words Yellow. 'Nuf said.

I looked from the hibiscus photo to the blog title to Julie's short text a couple of times, wondering all the while what the connection was. Was Roy G Biv a botanist? Was he an author as well? Or an artist, perhaps, of botanical illustrations. Just what did Roy G Biv have to do with a yellow hibiscus?

So...oh! the laughter really can be heard via cyberspace, you know...I did a quick Google search on Mr Biv.
[I know that sound! Someone just fell off their chair from laughing so hard!] And felt like a blooming idiot. [pun totally intended] Never had I heard the colors of the rainbow referred to as Roy G Biv. Or if I have, it was long ago forgotten.

The funny thing...admittedly not near as funny as my not knowing what Roy G Biv is...is that the day Julie posted yellow was the same day I had posted Red. A challenge was issued [from me to her] to see who could post orange, which Julie won with photos from SCAD, better known as Savannah College of Art and Design.

With red, orange and yellow covered, green is next and it's my turn. Here are a few offerings from around the house.
