Nov 13: Quote Project (Circular Artwork)

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was starting on a new project. Tiny has written quotes on sticky notes and has placed them all across the wall beside her bed. Since my wall has NOTHING on it, I came up with the idea to make a circle with pie slices for each month (like a “wheel of time”, if you want to get poetic. ;-) I will paint the slice for each month, and within each slice, write down quotations and little phrases that I find interesting, or relevant, or funny…it’s basically a free-for-all.  I finished painting November tonight, and have put up some photos of how we put together this project. But I think it would be really awesome is if you (who are still reading this mostly-food blog!) could send me some quotations or sayings that you would like to go on the circle…J

The blank canvas...but not for long!




We tied headphones to a pencil to draw the circle. ;-)

  1. There's not nothing on your wall. If I remember correctly there was one sticky note on it :)

  3. Ok so first off, haha Preli!! There is indeed one lonely sticky note. Secondly: "Teddy loves you with all his butt, he would say heart, but his butt is bigger!" Yes I know that it is on the "Wall of Inspiration" but still completely relevant and an awesome quote!

  4. M, here's a *timely* quote for you:

    "April is the cruellest month"

    It's from The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot (in case you didn't know).
