Indigo: Project 64: Out of the Box

Indigo in the Kitchen

Finger Painting by Granddaughter

I went back and forth, back and forth.  Now, before I change my mind again,  I'm choosing the soap dispenser. 
Although I love the color of indigo, it's definitely been an even harder color to discover.  What first seems to be that color turns out to have either too much on the blue side or too much on the purple side.  One thing Project 64 has done for me is to open my eyes to the innumerable colors we have in our wonderful world.
The argument I had with myself: So, which to choose?  Right now I'm leaning toward the finger painting done by my granddaughter when she was in kindergarten or 1st grade.  I neglected to date it.  Since I am a close friend of the other two primary teachers, I'm dead sure it was done in kindergarten.  

Chestnut

I took out the chestnut crayon, ready to test its impact on the white paper.  I was surprised at the orangey tone of brown.  From the crayon's sharper end than most of my crayons, I deduced that it's not one I use often when coloring a page.  Coloring with crayons or colored pencils is one of the ways that I relax.  Then I went on the hunt for items in my home to enter my chestnut photo to  project64colors.blogspot.com  I heard about using a color each week from the crayon box of 64 colors, my favorite crayon box.  I got excited at the idea of one more way to explore my environs through the lens of my camera.  I seesawed between the brown bear on a book cover and my Toronto Blue Jays bear.  Here you will see the bear who won my heart.
