I started out on a project few weeks ago with a piece of wood, a can of spray paint, nails, lots of colourful strings and a single word in mind. It was an attempt on an 'Inspiration Statement' for the wall.
I'm not quite sure which wall to have it hung yet, but I do know I wanted a wall of inspiration(s). This piece would be my first and I wanted it to be 'not perfect' but not too shabby as well. So I chose a piece of 1cm thick wood that isn't perfect. It has a one and half inch cut through it and some lifted 'skin' on the surface. This piece of wood was perfect I think.
I chose this word for a reason and it took me 40 minutes at the store picking out the string colours and laying out the colour sequence over and over again. Mum waited for me outside the store, but came in halfway through with her arms folded distinctively asking me to 'hurry up already!'; mentally :P I know her body language well enough. But I think that was because she didn't know what I was up with all those strings and wood.
This piece isn't for sale; but I would be happy enough to make a duplicate or one of similar kind; depending on size, number of alphabets and colours.
Do you have an inspirational word? What is yours?
