And the winners are…
I’ve spent a good part of the afternoon reading these colorway names stories and trying to decide on a winner. And you know what?
I can’t. I just can’t pick one.
I love them all equally.
I love that the six of you took the time to write these creatively wonderful tales of hue. I love how they made us all laugh with delight. So…I might not be the boss of much, but I am the boss of this little contest. I say you are all winners!!! Yay!! Which means I will make a colorway for each of you.
Here is how I would like that to work. (Still riding the~I am the boss of this.~ wave.)
What I need from each of you is going to involve a little more writing. Obviously, as evidenced in your winning stories, you are up to the challenge. What I would like you to write for me is your own personal color story so I can then make it into a colorway for you. Please be descriptive and not too poetically vague. If the colors of the sea are what floats your boat (pun intented) then tell me all about the hows and whys it floats it. Does it float it on a clear day when the sun is dipping below the horizon setting both the sky and sea ablaze in orange light or maybe you are more of a dark and stormy grey seas kind of person. This is what I need to know. The more descriptive you are the more I have to go on. If you love browns because they remind you of when you were a little tyke sitting in your grandfather’s lap for story-time and he was wearing his favorite golden tweed blazer smoking form his mahogany pipe while reading to you about Gulliver’s Travels and cozily sitting in an overstuffed rust red leather chair. You can also add in how it makes you feel.
( Get it?)
I would also like you to give your colorway story a name. I will then put that name to the colorway I create for you based on your story. So choose something you like and that is not too long. Other wise Paula will be mad at me ( because it has to fit on a skein tag) and well, we don’t want that.
Sound good? Doable?
Let’s keep this little color game of ours going on in the comments so everyone can share in the fun . So go ahead and put your personal colorway story in the comments of this post and congratulations:
