Eclipse Blues - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday

 

 

Yesterday, I was flying back home from Dallas right as the eclipse was happening in far West Texas.  Unfortunately, the sun was right above the plane, so I couldn’t see any of it.  But I was able to see the ground (something like 40,000 feet below) slowly growing darker.  Although since the eclipse was only about 65% in my area of the world, it didn’t get anywhere as dark as a full eclipse.  But what was interesting was watching the sky as the sun dimmed and then grew brighter - what beautiful shades of deep, rich blues showed up and then slowly dissolved into the more normal paler sky blues.  The colors looked almost velvety if you could just reach out and touch them!  

 

The photo above is the one and only photo I took yesterday towards the end of the eclipse. I just pointed my old iPhone at the sun and clicked, hoping the sun wouldn't fry the lense. Not a great photo by any means - the sun doesn't even look like it is eclipsing with all the "light leakage." It wasn't until I downoaded the photo on the computer that I noticed the lense flare with a clear eclipse shape in it, which is what the sun actually looked like at that time. Yay! But look at the sky . . . what an amazing color!

As you have probably figured out by now, the theme of this week’s Wonderful Handmade Wednesday has to do with the blues I witnessed on the flight.  I found plenty of Eclipse Blues handmade beauties in the shops of Indiemade artist friends, representing many of the blues seen in the eclipse sky.  I hope you enjoy each and every one!

Love these Blues

Some could see more of the eclipse than others, but everyone loves blue! Thank you for including my necklace. It is sold, but I'm working on another lapis lazuli necklace right now.

Even at about 90% eclipse

Even at about 90% eclipse here in central colorado, I was surprised it stayed as light as it did. I could see the bite with my pinhole camera and through the shade filters of our old sextant. The day briefly darkened and definitely cooled off, but there was no opportunity to view the corona. Your deep blue handmade selections are great and a worthy collection to celebrate the eclipse. Thanks for including my lapis earrings.

Love that blue!

I just love that deep indigo, cobalt blue! Your photo of the sky can easily inspire works done in that color! Thanks for sharing all these beautiful things!

Beautiful Blues!

Catching up at last! Thank you so much for including our dog scrunchie ruffle in your selection of eclipse blues :-)
