B/W

Posted by Cheryl on Aug 21 2008 | 4. Simplify on Thursday

Because sometimes black and white bring out the colour in a project.

I know we haven’t lived in the cottage very long, but I was tired of waking up to this view.

Blank.
Boring.
Taking advantage of a rainy afternoon, I took a few of these…

…using a bit of this…

…spread across the dining room table.

‘Where’s the colour?’ asked the Kiddies.
‘There isn’t any,’ I replied.
‘You mean you did this on purpose?’ they responded.
‘Yes,’ I replied.
‘Why on earth don’t you want colour?’ they demanded.
‘Because sometimes the colour of a story is in its subject, not on the paper,’ I replied.

Now, each morning I wake up to this colourfully black and white tale.

    They turned out great! Wow, that’s some fancy printer you have - what model/make is it? It looks like it has quite a few functions - nice.

    You have painted (or interited?) walls in The Perfect Green (TPG). Congratulations. I’ve always suspected that on our own walls, also painted in TPG, black and white photos in black frames would look very smart indeed. You have now confirmed what I suspected. Thank you.
