52 Weeks of Color – #51 Madder Lake & #52 Amazon

I’m so sad to see our lovely color challenge go. It’s been a wonderful two years and I’ve met so many amazing people during this time. To this poor little upstart blogger, it gave me a chance to watch and learn from those of you who have been around the blogging sphere for awhile. While giving me something to blog on a weekly basis, it also gave me an education in style, photography and in blogging. Even with the scrambling to find the right color and put together a cohesive outfit, I enjoyed every bit of this challenge.

Thank you to Luna for inspiring us with all these beautiful and interesting colors and to all those I’ve met during the course of this challenge. Hugs and love to you all! I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a safe and happy new year!

❤ Aya

52 Weeks of Color – #49 & #50

All caught up! Whew! I kept them both relatively simple. I don’t own much in either color so pickings were rather slim. (Pink is not a color I’m particularly fond of so I’m rather hoping this is the end of the pinks.)

Bittersweet Nightingale

I’m busting my butt this week to get all of my backlogged color challenge posts finished before the end. 4 more colors left and then I’ll be all caught up. I had the pleasure of using these new props from Diesel Works with my Bittersweet post.

The two pose props are called Nightingale’s Glee and Nightingale’s Sorrow – Glee being the gold and Sorrow the black cage. Both cages feature a variety of fantastic poses. I picked my favorite 3 poses from each cage to show you, and while the post is a bit pic heavy today, I think it’s worth it.

52 Weeks of Color – #43 and #44

 

Slowly but surely getting caught up on the color challenge. I’m attempting to do 2 a week. Although, since we’re nearing the end I might just push through and do the last few I need to catch up. I think I have 4 more weeks left now? These two were actually rather difficult for me seeing as I don’t have a lot of neutral colored clothing in my SL closet. I’m totally loving this new skin from Al Vulo! although I think with that pose my av looks a little pissed off. LOL.

52 Weeks of Color – #40 and #42

And here’s #40 and #42 Amaranth and Cosmic. I felt like pink and purple needed to be together in the same post don’t ask me why. The amaranth is not a look I would usually put together but it just kind of happened. Yay for happy accidents. That’s 4 weeks down and um…I forget how many left to catch up on.  Whatever, I’ll get there.

52 Weeks of Color – #38 Papaya Whip

I honestly have no idea what color the swatch was.  I’ve been back and forth with what color it actually is whether a pinkish or a peach-ish, but I went with what Wikipedia called it – a light orangey-peach color. I think I used this Grixdale dress last year for a color but it works for Papaya Whip too.

I do find things a bit more difficult this round. Most of these are colors completely foreign to me, but isn’t that part of the challenge? I wonder what next week will bring.

52 Weeks of Color – #36 Hot Cinnamon

So I finally got around to doing my hot cinnamon post. I’ve been putting it off because I am not fond of this color.

I found this belly dancer outfit in the bowels of my inventory that is sort of cinnamon-colored and it was an easy outfit for a pic. I honestly can’t remember where or when I got it. Maybe off a MM board in my noob days? Anyway, hot cinnamon is finished and now off to edit my Papaya Whip.
