Let me tell you a story.
Please sit down, take 5 minutes and if you don't know what I'm talking about, there are a few links to guide you through. Now let's start, shall we?
Last summer, we got started with a collaborative blog with Astrid: Her & Der. One of our first themes was wood. As I was wandering through Birkelunden (aka my neighbourhood) with my camera, I noticed one of the trees had a drawing pin... It felt like someone had left a message, the piece of paper was long gone but the drawing pin remained.
A few weeks later, Birkelunden was the stage of a cute art experiment... Once again, the trees were hosting unexpected messages. In January, it just felt natural to use this setting for my contribution to Jeff's project. I also decided to leave a message, wishing someone a happy belated birthday. My message stayed there for 3 weeks. Every time I passed by, it made me smile. So last Tursday, when I saw my message was no longer there, I was a bit disappointed and asked people for new messages I could pin on the trees. Friday afternoon, we went out to grab some coffee and I put up the new signs, we'll see how long they last...
Now. I'd love to make this a collective experiment with those of you interested. So here's the deal: tell me what you want me to write down (can be any language, you can divide it and have it on several signs... you decide) and which colour you'd like. I put it up, take a photo and upload it here. Useless but if it makes you smile, totally worth it.

ReplyDeleteAdeline -- you are full of creative juices; I LOVE YOUR MIND!
ReplyDeleteplease count me in! how about the following quote on yellow paper, please:

then there is no hope for it."
-- Albert Einstein
this is excellent, adeline!!!
ReplyDeletecould i please have the following on blue:

This is a great idea! My pick would be:
ReplyDelete"Sans toi, les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne seraient que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois. - Hippolito"
- this is of course a quote of a quote from Amélie and thus not very creative, but if I can get it on red paper I will be very happy!
Thanks,

ReplyDeleteAdeline why are you so darn AWESOME! you bring a smile to my face everytime I visit your blog and now I have found this project of yours too! I don't know if you are still doing it but if you are can I have this:
ReplyDelete"turn your cants into cans"
"your dreams into plans"
both on blue paper. I cannot remember where I found this written but I have adopted it as my motto on life :)
This is such a cool/cute idea! Maybe I'll try coming up with something..
