Missing the Sea... by Alliecat





Captain Blue, the Scourge of the Sea by Elfy





"But WHICH shade of Blue do you want?" by Lejays17

Alliecat - your photo looks so wistfull.

Elfy - Evie looks very serious about her ship sailing down the river.

Me - and that’s not even ALL of the blue wool...

I really feel for Allue’s characters looking longingly out to sea.
I quite like Evie in that outfit. She likes it, too.
I think Lejays wool stash will one day take over the rest of the house.

Ditto everything you said :3
Also, I imagine the wool scene playing out with the person who asked for "blue" ogling that giant pile and saying: "... I just wanted BLUE!" .

I missed seeing... or sea-ing, as two-thirds of the entries featured an ocean theme... and voting on this contest! Well done, everyone. Fun pics!

I want to see more of the Azure Adventures of Captain Blue, Scourge of the Sea!

Congratulations, Alliecat. You know what to do!

Congrats Alliecat, your shot was so atmospheric.

Thank you
All the blue yarn made me chuckle, and also reminded me of someone I met once who was doing a cross-stitch; it was either dolphins or whales, and I swear it had 27 different shades of blue! I was like, "NOPE!!"...
And I also want to see some more adventures of Captain Blue!

I’ll see what I can do about Captain Blue. It depends on Evie’s mood. Fun fact: Lejays also does cross stitch!

  And even though I have boxes of thread, I always seem to be missing a shade when I start a new project 

Oh boy, I completely missed voting for this round All pictures are so lovely though, I would have had a hard time choosing, so it's probably better this way

I love the group of blue friends, though Ika does looks like she's longing to be somewhere far, far away. Very well-captured!

Evie looks gorgeous in that pirate ensemble. It always surprises me how Pullip Rei Ayanami seems to look great in such a variety of clothes, even ones I wouldn't have thought of trying on her, and this is no exception. Mine still lounges around in her stock school uniform (partially due to school uniform shots I've been meaning to take for a long time, but still haven't gotten to), but this photo is calling me to finally redress her.

And I cracked up as I was scrolling down and saw the pile of blue yarn in the last picture, what a collection you have there Becky! I'm with you there on the shade problematics Lejays, with paint it's a bit easier, but with fabric, yarn and thread I often ex-perience the feeling of "plenty, but not enough", and often find myself having a dozen of shades, none of which are right. I've been hunting for a certain type and colour of blue fabric for months, to finally cave in any buy some just last week, which is still not what I had in mind, but I've had enough. If *the* fabric comes around later, I'll just redo the dang thing.
