Today is Thursday and high time to link with Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday Rainbow Summer School. This week's colour is RAINBOW GREEN. Green is a quite colour, a mixture of yellow and blue. Sometimes green needs a brighter colour like red to help it out:

To see the colour green, all you have to do is find some plants. Here is a small patch of wild strawberries:

According to Wikipedia 'the etymology of the word "green" is related to nature and growth.' Here are some hops growing all over a white painted wooden fence:

There are several green-coloured gemstones used in making jewellery:

Peridot is a light green stone that is always the same green colour.

The green colour of other minerals such as Turquoise, Aventurine, Jade and Malachite, can vary. Sometimes they are not green at all.

I don't have much in the way of gemstones at the moment, when I am making jewellery. I would love to try making something with the soft light green of peridot gemstones. In the mean time I use green glass beads:
