IPhriday Photo Challenge: Winter is Making a Presence

Winter is Making a Presence

Painted in Waterlogue

Painted in Brushstroke

Winter is making a presence, and the leaves are hanging on. We don’t do winter here in the South. This week we had snow and worse, ICE. The day after the storm it was back up to the 50’s and should be back into the 60’s by the weekend. This is my idea of winter!

The extra photos are painted in the IPhone Apps, Waterlogue and Brushstroke.

Enjoy the IPhriday Photo Challenge! Post a photo taken with your Phone on Fridays!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Cotton Candy

Cotton Candy Rose Garden

Cotton Candy Rose Pavillion

Pink Everywhere!

All of these photos (for my interpretation of Cotton Candy) were taken in the Rose Garden of Lady Winston Churchill at Chartwell, in the UK. For more information and pictures about Chartwell look HERE.

In 1864 Joseph Binney founded the Peekskill Chemical Company in Upstate New York for producing carbon black.

By 1885, son Edward Binney and cousin, C. Harold Smith form a company called Binney & Smith to produce a red oxide pigment used for barn paint and carbon black for car tires.

In 1889 the yellow oxide pigment was added. There were now three colors produced, Carbon black, yellow and red.

In 1900 the company started producing slate school pencils in the new mill in Easton, Pennsylvania. Their Carbon Black wins the Gold Medal at the Paris Exposition. Lets eat Cotton Candy to celebrate!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Cornflower

The Lonesome Cornflower Blue

Cornflower has been in the Crayola Collection since 1958. In the “Colors of Binney & Smith” set, a special collection in 2003, it was known as Century Cornflower.

In the “State Crayon Collection,” it was the color for Minnesota, known as the Lakes of Blue.

Did you know that in 1959 the first Crayola TV ads appeared on the Children’s TV show Ding Dong School? Ding Dong School was known as “the nursery school of the air” and was a half-hour children’s show which began in Chicago, IL. The hostess was Miss Francis. Who remembers Miss Francis? Raise your hands! Ding Dong School was the precursor to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and Sesame Street!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Copper

My Turtle

This turtle hung out in my garden most of last summer. It was the first I had seen him. I thought his coloring was very nice, as his body was Copper colored, as well as the markings on his shell.

Copper was in the Crayola Collection in 1903, so it was one of the first colors, and then in 1915 it was discontinued. It was brought back into the collection in 1958.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Chestnut

Virginia Woolf’s Mantel at Monk’s House, UK

Doorbells on Wood Beam, Monk’s House, UK

In 1999, Crayola renamed its reddish-brown crayon to avoid misunderstandings over the color’s origin. After going through more than 250,000 suggested names, the color Indian Red, which Crayola said was based on the reddish-brown pigment commonly found near India, was dropped from the collection because teachers complained students thought it described the skin color of American Indians. The new name would be Chestnut.

I took these pictures at Virginia Woolf’s home, Monk’s House, in Rodmell. The wood may not be Chestnut, but the color looks right to me! Also, in the photo is the front and back door doorbells! A time gone by!

In the “State Crayon Collection,” Chestnut is known as Maple Syrup, the color for the state of Vermont in the Crayola Series.

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Cerulean

The Lake at Hever Castle, Kent, UK

Scarlet Pimpernel Crayola Crayons

Cerulean has been in the Crayola lineup since 1990. It is known in Mexico as Aqua Blue and also as Magaruite Celulean in the special Crayola collection called Scarlet Pimpernel.

“They seek him here,
they seek him there,
those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel.”

The Scarlet Pimpernel is an adventure and historical book written by Baroness Emma Orczy in 1905. The book is set in Paris during the French Revolution. Read all about the Pimpernel HERE!

The Scarlet Pimpernel play, was given at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on January 27, 1998, as a benefit. For the opening of the benefit play, Crayola created four new colors and put them into a generic four color box to hand out at the performance. Wouldn’t you like to have those crayons? WOW!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Cerise

Venice Cherries

Banana-Cherry Crepe in Venice, Italy

Cerise is French for “cherry”. Crayola is now going French on us! I didn’t have one picture of a French cherry! How can that be? But, I did have some pictures of Italian Cherries!

Color Your World: 120 Days of Crayola; Caribbean Green and Carnation Pink

Charleston House, Home of Vanessa Bell

I found two colors today in one picture from the garden of Vanessa Bell’s home, Charleston House, seven miles east of Lewes, UK. What a beautiful and bountiful garden. For more pictures, look HERE!

Caribbean Green has been in Crayola Collection since 1997. Carnation Pink is the name given to Rose Pink since 1958. It was known as Flamingo Pink in the second “So Big” set of crayons, 1988-1992. It was Pink in the Mexico collection since 1990, Cherry Blossom in the “Colors of Washington, DC series, 2002-2006 and Paler Pink in the special “Color of Binney & Smith” set, 2003.

So Carnation Pink has been on the radar with Crayola a long time and seen many makeovers!
