Chasing Rainbows

Yesterday, we had our first real spring shower and with it, came a big double rainbow. I did not have my camera in hand when I took Blu out for his evening stroll, but it was a good one! Blu hates thunder, and once off in the distance, there was a gentle rumble, which meant I had to pull him out of the shower to go for his before bed walk. I wasn’t thinking about taking my camera, but it did remind me of the wide spectrum of colors that seemingly appear when the sun hits those tiny prisms of water. The meteorologist spoke of it in technical terms, but I think of a rainbow in terms of the way that color is used by nature to excite and engage us. It also holds the promise of no other flood on earth. Here are some colorful creations that come from light hitting prisms from those who are members of the JCUIN guild.

Rainbows, prisms, crystals and all the other elements that we use to create and scatter colors from our ears, necks, wrists and fingers will always be a popular design choice. I don’t see diamonds going anywhere soon.
Enjoy all these sparkly and colorful creations from the artists of the Jewelry Creators Unite in Numbers guild on Artfire.
