Playing with colors... a naming game.

Saturday, March 24, 2012
Hi Everyone,

When I was little I used to love to take all of my crayons out of the box and put them together in color order. I think I did it different every time. Light to dark or dark to light. Does that blue green go with the blues or the greens. Is magenta red or pink... on and on... so I guess that is why I like to take the fabrics off the shelves and do the same thing. Yesterday, I had a tiny little while when my work was done before I had to make dinner and I came up with these:

I am calling this one Crashing Waves (inspired by some pictures I took in Monterey on Erin's b-day):


This one is Tangerine Tango Too (more tangerine because I can't get enough of it):


This one is Fade To Black (lightest grey all the way to black):


I have thought of a few names for this one.... Teal Feathers (a play on tail feathers) is the best I have come up with. So I thought let's have a naming game. You tell me what you would call it and I will pick my favorite of the names. Whoever's name I like best will get a little prize. I have to put a time limit on it though so let's say Monday morning at 8 AM Pacific time. I will pick a winner then.


You know Teal, Turquoise, Aqua is my favorite color so there were a lot more I could have put in this bundle. There is an abundance of that color here :)

I hope you are having a colorific Saturday!

  6. Mermaid aqua, I love it or Pigeon blue

    ReplyDelete
  7. I refuse to use a color in mine. These colors remind me of the Gulf of Mexico on a clear day, so my vote is "Life's a Beach" :D

  8. So you got me thinking about crayons so I went to their website and looked up Teal. Did you know that it wasn't an official crayola color until 1990 and it replaced Lemon Yellow which was retired to the Crayola Hall of Fame :) Who knew there was a Crayola Hall of fame?? Random

    So onto some names. I liked

    Teals the Tops
    Foamy
    Salty Sea

  9. Temperamental Tealwinds

    Tempestuous Teals

    ♥♥

  10. Oceans Edge

    Aqua Frost
    Tantalizing Teal
    Tealtempting

    Sorry, couldn't stop once I got started. Teal/Aqua is my favorite colo also and this is such a beautiful combination. I am sooo envious.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oceans Thirteen was my first thought, like the films but much more interesting to he fabric obsessed like us ;)

    ReplyDelete

    Two for Teal
    Teal Time
    Aqua Bliss

    ReplyDelete
  15. What a gorgeous bundle!
    How about Tropical Diving, or Aqua Depths.
    Those colours look like tropical water going from shallow to deep - beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Caribbean Delight. The colors remind me so much of the colors of the ocean in the Caribbean.

  17. Teal There Was You
    As sung by the Beatles (with apologies!)

    There were bells on a hill
    But I never heard them ringing
    No, I never heard them at all
    Teal there was you

    There were birds in the sky
    But I never saw them winging
    No, I never saw them at all
    Teal there was you

    Then there was music and wonderful roses
    They tell me
    in sweet fragrant meadows
    Of dawn and dew

    There was love all around
    But I never heard it singing
    No, I never heard it at all
    Teal there was you

    Then there was music and wonderful roses
    They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
    Of dawn and dew

    There was love all around
    But I never heard it singing
    No, I never heard it at all
    Teal there was you
    Teal there was you

  18. Pacific Islands The fabrics reminded me of the islands.

    ReplyDelete
  19. These are beautiful. I would call them Wading Pool.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Tea-l-ishous or aqua-lishous because those colors are good enough to eat!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I would simply call these:

    "A-bundle of Aqua"

    ~Terry~

    ReplyDelete
  22. I thought perhaps
    Teal Twist
    or
    Seaglass

    ReplyDelete
  23. It makes me think of the ocean and sea and all the different shades of blue that you see. I like "Shades of the Sea".

    (heck it even makes me think of the different shades of blue you see in Lake Tahoe) Tahoe Teal maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Darn that heartsease54, I was going to say Caribbean Calm....so now I will say Azure Seas

    ReplyDelete
  25. Key West Morn That is what it reminds me of, the gulf on one side and the ocean on the other and where they join is where I'll be Teal We Meet Again on another beautiful "Key West Morn"

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think it looks like a blue lagoon, lighter close to the shore, then darker the farther out you go. Beautiful no matter what you name it! :)

  27. My suggestion is Swimming Pool because that's what the fabrics remind me of.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Bubblebath! ("Calgon, take me away!" totally pops into my head, but I didn't suggest it because of the product name.)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Gulfstream -- that's what it reminds me of. Or Gulf Breezes. Sighhhhhh.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Talk about Teal! That's my choice

    ReplyDelete
  31. oh such pretty fabric groupings. love all those teal/aquas. I'd call it Sea Breeze. it reminds me of the color of the Caribbean water and warm air. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. How about Wheely Teal... sort of a play on Really Teal and most of your prints have roundish patterns. Have a blessed day, Kathy

    ReplyDelete
  33. "Indoor Swimmingpool"
    Because the shades remind me of light dancing along the top of the water in an indoor swimming pool, graduating down through the fabrics to the colours of the shaded corners.

    ReplyDelete
  34. "Mediterranean mist". It looks like refreshing sea mist that comes from the surf as waves crash against a tropical island!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh, this is hard! How about 'Crest of a wave' or 'By the coast' or 'Cliff edge' or 'Sea spray' (because it reminds me of the waves hitting the cliffs/sea wall).

    ReplyDelete
  36. Teal Kind of Day Bundle or
    Aqua Addiction Bundle or
    Big Blue Wonder bundle or
    Mermaid's Dream bundle

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love coming up with names - the floodgates just open up once I get started.


    Wading Pool
    A Perfect Sky
    Let's Make A Teal
    I'd Rather Be Blue
    Remembering Your Blue Eyes
    Remembering Ol' Blue Eyes
    The Blues Are Good Thing
    Born To Be Blue

    I guess I'd better stop now.

    ReplyDelete
  38. All those florals and dots got me thinking underwater so maybe something like "Mer-mountain" or even "Mermaid Mountain" because it's a mountain of fabric? and they have mountains under the sea, you know. I bet there are fields of underwater flowers much like those in the prints you chose. "Mermaid meadow" maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I thought of "dawn till dusk".

    ReplyDelete
  40. I thought Aqua Dreaming, but I see someone else got something similar already, so all I can say is that it is beautiful. Perhaps

    Aqua dolce

    would do?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Before I looked at the comments, the first thing that came to my mind was "Teal We Meet Again," too! LOL

    I sure love that tangerine grouping.

    We'll Be Teal?

    ReplyDelete
  42. How about Ice Ice, Baby? Or Dawn of Aquarius... Age of Aquarius? Crystal Waters? Caribbean Breeze? Or what about something totally ridiculous, like "The Teal Bundle"... :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. That stack looks just like an
    "Iceberg" in Alaska. Or maybe like the "Hydrangea" in my yard!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Crystal Clear
    Crystal Waters
    Crystal Clear Waters

    I did have more, but the others are all taken! lol

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'd call it Turquoise Temptations!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love naming contests. So fun!
    Since you said Teal feather, that made me think of that oldies song. So one name I think of is:
    Shake your Teal feathers

    Others I thought of:
    Crystal Blue Persuasion (another song I love)
    Reflection in the fountain
    Wishing Fountain
    Coral Reef
    Scuba Divin'
    The Jellyfish Blues
    Lady Sings the Blues
    Rejuvination Springs
    Lady of the Lake

    That's about all I have for now.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If you flip it upside down, it would be "rising moon"- I also thought of "i spy clouds" and "Summer days twilight"

    ReplyDelete
  48. This fabric is so beautiful. Very calming.

    Peace and Calming
    TranquiliTEAL
    Hawaiian Mist

    ReplyDelete
  49. Have you ever been to/seen Havasupai? The water is exactly that color. Here's a link if you haven't seen it: http://www.havasupaitribe.com/havasu.html

    So one thought I had was Havasu Falls.

    But it also reminds me of my honeymoon in the Caribbean, so how about Caribbean Honeymoon? Or Nassau?

    Whatever you name it, I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Those beauties look like "teal treasures" to me

    ReplyDelete
  51. "Seafoam at Sunset" - I love the darker teals - And Oh My Goodness - if you added some firey oranges....

    ReplyDelete
  52. Paradise Cove. It reminds me of a beautiful peaceful cove somewhere in the Caribbeans. Just gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Bluesy morning -- feels like jazz!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Haunauma Bay! Looks like the water at fantastic snorkeling spot here in East Oahu!amorbis torco

  60. What lovely cool colours!! I'm totally on the water theme too - instant thoughts of cool calm water

    Blue Lagoon
    Sparkling Pool
    Cool Aqua Nights
    Paradise Blues
    Tropical Waters

    ReplyDelete
  61. Such a fun contest - I love reading all the suggestions in the comments!

    The first thing that came to mind for me was (Paul) "Newman's Eyes" but I wasn't sure if it's okay to use a celebrity's name in the title...

    My other suggestion is "Tealed with a Kiss"

    Looking forward to seeing other color combinations in your store - these are gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Tealtime or time for teal, a play of tea time. I was thinking of spring and a tea party on the grass and what a darling tablecloth or lawn quilt those fabric would make. You groups look choice.

    ReplyDelete
  63. What fun & creative names!

    How 'bout:
    Turquoise in Paradise
    Blue Heaven
    Aqua Surrender
    I've Got the Blues
    Serenity in Teal

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'll throw
    Song of the Sea
    Whale of a Tale
    and
    When the shark bites

    in the ring...just because I love the fact that your bundle has aqua, teal, petrol and blue hues in it...just like the sea (anyone spot the Bobby Darin connection?)

    Let's go sailing!

    ReplyDelete
  65. How about Azure Isle.

    ReplyDelete

    Mermaid's Delight! The colors are beautiful and remind me of the darkest deep sea blue to the shimmery water at the surface of a wave straight to the summer sky--gorgeous. :)

    ReplyDelete

    "LOVE STASH"
