20 Jan COLOR//COLOUR
Last year, to help me through the darkest greyish time of the year. I spent 30 days “making my own colour”, playing with & capturing colour each day… in the end I made a film and it really lifted my spirits.
The cold & grey season is BACK, so it’s time to play with colour again… This time with a more structured project and in collaboration with my fellow color//colour lover Andrea Jenkins. YAY!
We’re going on a seven week exploration to seek colour & capture it through photos & film…
Red – week 1 – Mon 20th Jan
Yellow – week 2 – Mon 27th Jan
Pink – week 3 – Mon 3rd Feb
Green – week 4 – Mon 10th Feb
Purple – week 5 – Mon 17th Feb
Orange – week 6 – Mon 24th Feb
Blue – week 7 – Mon 3rd Mar
Each Monday a new colour adventure begins and all week Andrea & I are going to search & capture that colour…
Photograph colour // Film colour // Wear colour // Play with colourful props // Go on colour hunts // Make bouquets of colourful flowers // Make GIFs of colour // Paint my nails // Look in my archives for colour.
ANYTHING goes!
I’m open to whatever comes to mind and reveals itself. The focus will be that weeks colour, it could be as little as one Instagram photo to blog posts on here, to a whole week capturing that colour.
I’ll be sharing here on my blog & on my Instagram and collaborating with Andrea on our new COLOR//COLOUR LOVERS Tumblr – come over and check it out… This space will get updated throughout the project and will become a haven when we need a colour boost!
By the end of this colour adventure we’ll be full to the brim with technicolor magic, ready for spring to arrive.
So looking forward to having some fun by going on “A color//colour adventure!” Hope you enjoy watching it unfold!
If you fancy playing along, join us over on instagram this week with #colorcolourRED or on your own blogs… the more colour, the better!

Posted at 04:46h, 24 JanuaryWe’ve been having the sun break through for sunset, but the whole of the day has been a crazy gray with huge dark clouds. Looking for color will be a wonderful way to find some play in my day.

Posted at 01:01h, 21 JanuaryAfter watching this film I am now in desperate need of a pair of yellow wellies. Also, I just love what you did with that jump and the music at around 00:52!
Oh, and about the colour seeking/making/loving: What a fabulous idea – I’m in! 🙂

Colorful greetings from a grey Berlin,
