The Roy G Biv day has come full circle. We are back to Red! I was in my living room wondering about my red choices when I decided to search right where I was sitting. The front door is my beginning point and then the Korean Cat "Good Luck" Fan placed on my drapery rod up next to the ceiling. Moving around the room to the meditation box ... I created it using cardboard and tape and paint and collage and bamboo. The inside is painted black and has a bottom layer of incense. This last find is of an Afghan I created when I was in my twenties. I used a circular needle and two strands of yarn with one being mohair. I took it with me to New York for my wedding and it has moved to all the houses for all these years, it has comforted my boys on the couch for naps and now I cover my legs with it while I watch Netflix movies. It is 50 years old and going strong! For more Roy G Biv finds click on

ReplyDeleteJeane, Thank you ... sharing what seems everyday and ordinary feels good ... we all live with our treasures!
DeleteI love the thinking behind your theme for the "red" edition of ROY, Mary Ann! And that afghan is just gorgeous...what a piece of personal/family history...
ReplyDeleteHappy Netflix-ing - and creating, of course!
Arzigogolare, It's my second year in participating so I needed to look a little closer in my search for red!
DeleteThe Afghan is always ready as a comfortable wrap and yes to the family memories!
Thanks for playing along again Mary Ann!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Absolutely my pleasure playing this fun search of Roy G Biv day! A fun challenge and a great opportunity to meet other searchers!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have a red door, wish I could paint our front door red. the red afghan is so special holds so many different meanings and memories for all who have used it, a memory album.
ReplyDeleteMaya, You are so right about the memories in this Afghan ... so many times it was the comfort to a headache or just a sweet nap.
DeleteDo you happen to know the name of your front door paint color:)? I'm struggling with finding the color for mine!
ReplyDeleteLPC, Actually I'm in trouble as I need to repaint this door and I know the painter made his own mixture and stopped when I said okay ... now I'm not sure if I have any left in the shed. Seems they can match anything with a quarter size sample...best of luck!
Deleteune porte rouge.. la porte du bonheur!
ReplyDeleteELFI, My translation is off but I'm thinking red and happiness or lucky charm ... hope I'm close and thank you!
DeleteI'm glad you're joining in the search again this year Mary Ann. LOVE the red door. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Thank you and it is my good luck to be a part of this year long search!
DeleteLoving all your reds, Mary Ann, especially the cat fan, and mt favorite is the meditation box - quite an intriguing object!
ReplyDeleteSharmon, Thank you .. the meditation box was one of five boxes I created several years ago...meditation, forgiveness, death, fear and prayer... all very different in color and collage.
Delete\you can never go wrong with red. Love the meditation box and the fact that you made it yourself which gives it so much meaning.
ReplyDeletePatrice, I agree on the color red ... always have loved the color. Next month is orange and I'm starting my search now as it isn't always my 'go to' color! Thanks for stopping by!
Deletefun... the color and the vignettes...
ReplyDeleteCaterina, I agree about the fun part ... these searches expand my usual focus ...always willing to play a little! Thank you!
DeleteI love how you did this Mary Ann and am wondering if you can do the whole rainbow from your couch? Makes me look around my living room with different eyes! Go well.
ReplyDeleteI've taken a good look around for color representation and the orange and purple are just in bits ...I'll need to get out of my chair in February! Thanks for the fun!
