Note: Getting Things Done is taking longer than I expected it to, due to some bad planning on my part, taxes, and family emergencies. I AM still making progress, though, albeit slowly. I’m going to try to come back to one post a week because I don’t want to completely disappear from all your radars!
Indigo:
I’ll admit it. I failed horribly. And I’ve had more than a week to find it.
Indigo is a color I love – a deep blue with a hint of purple in it. It is also not a color you see often, at least in the form I expect it. My midnight blue hipscarf comes close — in fact, it’s the color the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls (IORG) used when I was a member – it annoyed me then, too – there’s no purple in it. Hence, to me, it’s blue.
My irises have indigo in them as I remember — they haven’t bloomed yet. I did not think I would fail to find a color I love so much. I was wrong.
Has anyone else found anything they’d call indigo? If so, I’d love to see it! Post a link in the comments and I’ll find time to come look. I promise on that one. I LOVE indigo!
Next, Purple, violet, whatever you want to call it! And I’m still on the lookout for indigo.
Indigo is the Artist’s favorite color. When he was younger he would settle for purple, and nowadays he prefers dark blue, but really he likes that blend of the two.

Thank you for the link, Dad! And I do love me some indigo dye – was just talking to martialartess about her dying experiences back in art school. Unfortunately, since I’d given myself the assignment to find and take photos of stuff that’s indigo in color… I’m still in the same boat. 🙁
Oh, and a variety of indigo plant is native to us here in NC… if I plant some in the side yard, do you want to come over and help me use it to dye cloth? Heehee.
