Project 64: Week 3--Goldenrod

Color #3 is goldenrod. The time frame is June 3rd- June 8th.  And boy, we were unhappy to have an almost identical to dandelion color come up randomly for our third week.  But we figured it out.



I have three, count ‘em three, entries.

This is my first entry. There is some goldenrod in the lighter front part, right in the middle. I will mention that "great minds think alike", as I wasn't the only one who thought this photo was a good representation of goldenrod. Stay tuned...

I also thought the lid might work, but it might be too orange.

I think I am going to go with this photo, which I captured while making pasta. I think the goldenrod is above the brightest egg yolk, in the egg white.

I've added an arrow to show where I mean:

Let's see what Trust and Imp found:


Trust only has one entry, and while it doesn't look like a perfect match in the photo, when she tested the colors together, they were very close. The goldenrod is in the top of the lei.

This is Imp's entry. It was a gift he got from my mother-in-law as part of a set she made. He was in the Lion King when he was in the fifth grade. Who knows if we'll see the other pieces later on., but we did see it twice this week.
For reference, here is my entry for my Project 64 back in 2011.

This is the link.

This is the Scout banner hanging on Earnest's wall. The goldenrod is in the yellow fabric.

Project 64 Week 2--Dandelion

The color for the second installment  of Project 64 is dandelion.  It spans May 31st-June 5th.

This is my entry for dandelion.  The top right corner has an area where the stripes don’t meet.  If you follow those stripes to the left or down, you will see dandelion.  Also, the dandelion is mixed within the nuts on the branch in the left corner.

Second photo was taken by Imp, it is the book Red Scarf Girl.

Third photo was Trust's find. The dandelion is most prevalent in the middle section between the lightbulb and the edges of the lantern.

Throwback to 2011---this was my find:

The blog post is here. I actually won the contest this week with this photo.

On to Color #3.

Raaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrr. It looked more dandelion without the flashlight.

Project 64: Week 1--Burnt orange

Color #1 is burnt orange.   The time frame is May 28th- June 2nd. Given that our time frame is spring, it makes sense to have an autumnal color. But I think we did fine for our first week.



This is my entry.  This little bird graces our family room.  I think the burnt orange is closest to his neck and wing, right in between the obvious red and yellow.
This dinosaur sits on Trust's desk with three others in a few different vibrant colors. She put the color swatch underneath his foot for the comparison.

This is a folder that was the color of burnt orange found by Imp,
This photo was from Week 41, when I did this project in 2011.  The link to the blog post is here.

Not bad for our first color.  On to Color #2.

Burnt orange in the Miami Dolphins flag. Pretty rad. 

Project 64 Reboot

If you go back and look in this sporadic blog, you'll see that 9 years ago, I participated in a weekly project called "Project 64".  The idea was that each week, a different Crayola crayon would be pulled from the box and the goal was to photograph something containing that color in the week's time frame.

Trust is now 16, and she decided it might be fun to do this project.  I decided to do it with her, as did Imp, who is 12.  We are going to try to capture each color in five day's time, so we don't take 64 weeks to do this...if we did, Trust might be off to college before we finish!

Stay tuned...

Edited to add (6/13/20):  This week, Earnest decided he wanted to join us.  I've gone back to the first few colors and added his contributions in.
