Sing a Rainbow

Good morning

I could not decide whether to call this post 'All Creatures Great and Small' or 'Sing a Rainbow'.  I went with 'Sing a Rainbow' because for the next two weeks at Crafty Boots Challenges the theme chosen by the fabulous Emma M is Rainbows - either actual rainbows or the colours of the rainbow.

As you can see I have been playing around with the idea of the colours of the rainbow. Mind you, in order to do that I had to recall the colours of the rainbow, emm, how did that song go?  I could not remember and had to resort to looking it up on the internet:

Red and yellow and
Pink and Green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

Listen with your eyes
Listen with your ears
And sing everything you see
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing along with me

Imagine my horror when I discovered that the song I had been mumbling along to most of life had got it wrong. Apparently the colours of the rainbow are actually - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

I made my rainbow out of clothes pegs, I got the idea from the talented Mrs Beez:

Mm, they are a little difficult to see, here are some close ups.

Red

Yellow

Orange

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

I took some wooden pegs and gave them a coat of Gesso. Once that was dry I painted them with acrylic paints.

I then covered the tops with glitter and sprayed the pegs with Crafter's Companion's silver Spray and Sparkle to hold everything together.

Once everything was dry I decorated each peg and added magnetic strip to the back.

The rest of the Design Team have made some wonderful projects, please take a look for yourself and then enter your own project.

Good luck.
