Week 9 of 10 of The Color Wheel project features the darkest color of them all: black. Black is both the absence of light and the complete absorption of light. This project is part of the ipernity group, "10-Week Picture Projects". We'd love you have you join us!

This week, I carefully poured out all of my black beads onto the mirror I'm using for my Color Wheel set, and then carefully looked them over to remind myself of what was there. Marvelous large, shiny baubles, tiny seed beads, plastic cones and spirals, stone and wooden tube shapes...so many to ooh and ahhh over!! And then I saw this lovely polished stone. When you see a rock like this, it's a bit difficult to believe. The bands of white, the little section of brown on top, yet black overall, I found myself just staring at this one, and was really happy when I got a nice picture to share!

How nice it is to be settled in to my job. After having 4 days off for Thanksgiving weekend, I was really excited to get back to it. A super day awaited me and a feeling of contentment because I feel so at home here. :)

10-Week Picture Projects has 269 members now with an endless stream of beautiful pictures! Great fun, great talent, and easy to participate in because your picture can be from your archives or current. This can be a nice way to showcase a picture from the past that screams a certain color! :)
