Project Spectrum Meme for March
Margene proposed a Project Spectrum meme which was sparked by a post of Laura’s. If you’ve missed it, the goal was to poke around your home and see how much stuff you can find in the March colors of pink and red. I had a blast with this. I didn’t think I was going to find too much, but it turned out better than I had thought it would and I didn’t even pull stuff out of my studio like my red paints etc!
Let us start in the bedroom. Our walls are a warm medium brown and the duvet is slightly lighter with what looks like block printing of leaves and vines in cranberry and plum. So, there are a few decorations in the room that are in the red region of the colorwheel…
Despite my aversion to most pink and my dislike for what I feel red does to bring out my adult onset acne I did have a fair bit of it in my closet too! I much prefer the dusty pinks and it is nice to have a real red or two in your closet for those occassions that call for it. And, of course every woman must have a cute red handbag and some red and pink nail polish, yes?? A nice red necklace and a fun stole also made my list of Project Spectrum girlie things I owned.
I had a lot of luck in our kitchen! There was a tablecloth embroidered by my mother before her sight had deteriorated too far that I adore (though am afraid to ever use). There was also the red cutting board DH used to keep at work and my favorite red apple variety - pink lady, and a red covered dish that had been my great grandmother’s. I don’t know what she kept in it, but it is our salt cellar and lives next to the stove for easy access while cooking.
As I said, I didn’t raid my paper stash or my paint supplies and photograph them. But it does appear that I have done an awful lot with red as a major color in my artwork these past couple years. It is funny, I don’t think of myself as a red person, yet my red artwork is some of my favorite and my best sellers…

If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged if you care to participate. You don’t even need to be a part of Project Spectrum. How much red and pink do you have around your house or in your portfolio of handmade things?
