Electrifying Blue and Purple in September

Blue garden

As summer deepens, progresses, turns towards autumn, my balcony garden turns into shades of blue and purple that bring bumblebees and butterflies to visit. Lavender with bluish-purple flowers and slender, aromatic, grey-green leaves. Mint and chives in purple blossom. The purple haze of Perovskia, Russian sage. Tuscan Calamintha with its cloud of light purple blossoms and its intoxicating scent! Salvia Caradonna, is a real drama queen, with exquisite regal purple flower spikes, on purplish-black stems stained with reddish violet, towering above the foliage! And deep purple, almost black, aubergine ripening.

All these electrifying shades of blue and purple as well as a getting the late summer blues, has inspired me to create both a collection of icons and a wallpaper.

lavender purple luminous folder icon Oh, I love purple! My balcony garden has given me so much inspiration for a much anticipated, brand new collection in the popular series of Luminous folder icons! This time it’s a volume of Luminous Purple Folder Icons.

This colorful series of icons is my take of the folder icon in Mac OS X Leopard. A minimalist folder icon to help you stay productive with neatly organized projects, and in style too! The series comes in a wealth of colours, to brighten your digital landscape and make it personal or to color code your projects.

Blue and geometric, is the theme for my new desktop wallpaper. Inspired by September’s birthstone, the sapphire. Members of Club Marmalade Moon also receive a September desktop calendar with this motif.
