create small pieces of art, and leave them for people to find

to create tiny scrap paper journals, perhaps 2”x3”, and leave them around the city. Also, I would make little covers for them, decorated with words and/or artwork, or maybe just colour.

This idea is linked to another one of my goals, which is to make blank journals out of all my scrap papers. While gathering all my scrap papers, I found a lot of smaller peices. So if I cut them all to the appropriate sizes, they too will not go to waste!

This excites me because:
1. I would be creating something
2. I would be recycling something
3. The blank journal would also harness someone else’s creative endeavours, lists, doodles, quotes…

the plan is to make 50 small tags (2”x3” collages with doodles and words) and leave them in different places. I’ve chosen the following places so far… any other ideas out there?

in library books
hanging from trees
between salt and pepper shakers at a diner
huddled within a blackberry bush
on bulletin boards at the grocery store

i considered putting them in peoples mailboxes and car windshields, but I rather people stumble upon them, rather than be given them… i don’t want to come across like a secret admirer…

hmmm… i wonder if i should have a track-back system?

perhaps i will write words on little pieces of something and hang them on trees in parks… or i could write words on rocks at the beach with a pencil… or i could make doodles instead of words

i like the thought of it being really subtle so only those who are paying attention will notice
