Searching for Roy G Biv 4: Gray/Grey Final Update

A detail from the Swedish pioneer house at the Zilker Botanical Garden.

It's time once again for the Search for Roy G Biv (the colors of the rainbow) and Beyond. We are now Beyond! This month's color is GRAY or GREY. I'm posting a day early since I'll be traveling tomorrow...returning home from Austin, Texas. And since I'm in Austin, I decided to look for my GRAYS here.

Structure on the grounds of the Texas State Capital.

To join in the fun, just post up to five GRAY photos and leave a comment here or on Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's blog. We'll link to your post for our monthly blog hop. I'll continue to post updates through Saturday, October 17. Let's see how many different GRAYS you can find!

10/15/15 6:30 PM Eastern time....I'm home and am delighted to see so many folks playing Roy this month!

Fiona at Paper Ponderings reminds us..."that the things we can do and make offer people a salve to the ordinariness or mundaneness of life." She also has a beautiful page from her book "Silence Helps No One" that is a symphony in GREY.

GREY is a "current favorite" for Margaret at Charlton Stitcher! She has a wonderful selection of photos and art to share.

Jennifer has GREYS from shadows to owls to her lovely rusted cloth.

Lisa at arzigogolare has been a bit frustrated by the GRAY days in Florence but, as usual, her photos sing! Love the paving stones after a storm...they look almost metallic!

Sharmon Davidson has architectural and natural GRAYS. Love the weathered wood, the soft GRAYS in the fungi and the silvery GRAY of the fallen leaf.

Mary Ann at Blue Sky Dreaming has hand printed and stitched (leafy) GRAYS. Love that first piece!

Susan and Elizabeth at PG Fiber 2 Art have some textural GRAYS...from elephants to tree bark!

Maya at Take Diversion has some surprising GREYS from a suspended feather to industrial brushes!

Linda Stokes has some outdoors GREYS. Love the pottery path!

Fran at At the End of the Day found Five Shades of GREY...even a self portrait!

Thanks to all of you for playing this month! Only two months left:

November 19: PINK
December 17: Blogger's Choice

New Newsletter and Roy Reminder


Just a quick post before I head out for a few days to Austin, Texas.

I just published Issue #30 of Julie B Booth Surface Design News. I talk a bit about my experience taping TV segments for Quilting Arts TV and then there is a fun project about using a resist with leaves to make leaf prints. Click here is you'd like to read it. The newsletter is free so feel free to sign up for it!

This is also your monthly reminder that the next installment of Roy G Biv...searching for the colors of the rainbow and beyond...continues this Thursday with GRAY. If you'd like to play along, post up to five GRAY photos and leave a comment here or on Jennifer Coyne Qudeen's blog and we'll link to your post for our usual colorful blog hop.

I'll be traveling home on Thursday but do promise to post my Roy photos no later than Friday morning.
