Day 17: An art piece.
In the summer I was reading about moving into residence. One of the pamphlets said, "Buy posters, plain walls are so high school." I was really a poster type of girl... I never become obsessed with anything enough to justify purchasing and displaying the poster on my wall. Soon the idea of creating a wall quote collage came along. Basically I have an obession with quotes. When I come across a good one, especially one that I can relate to, I scribble it down immediately and then eventually jot it down in one of my journals. I envisioned created a wall full of quotations on individual cue cards. I brought a deck of neon cue cards (pink, green, orange, and yellow), and using a fancy black ink pen I will write individual quotes on them as they come along. So far I only have two because I just started. I am trying to write one quote a day. On the day I write the quote I will display the quote on my cork board outside my door so that my floormates can see. Then from my cork board I will move it onto my wall which is the wall over my bed's headboard. On the cue card I will write the quote, the author if possible and the date I wrote the quote down. If someone else gave me the quote (and when I first mentioned it people on my floor were all like, "I have a good one!" I will also include the name of the person that forwarded me the quote. If all goes well, by the end of the year this will be a decent piece of art.
