get creative

My project is pretty simple. To spread creativity! Living in Irvine, I often get suffocated by the never-ending monotony of school work school, the business tie too tight around my collar. I don't see enough uniqueness and creativity running rampant in the world. Thus the need for creative chaos.

My project is called getCREATIVE. These are the items you'll need:
-Glitter
-Small plastic bags (preferably jewelry bags)
-White adhesive labels (same size as bags)

First, fill a ridiculous amount of bags with glitter. I only filled mine halfway, but feel free to stuff them til they burst.
Next, gather a number of meaningful quotes on creativity. The ones I used are as follows:
"Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts."
~Rita Mae Brown

"The chief enemy of creativity is "good" sense."
~Pablo Picasso

"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun."
~Mary Lou Cook

"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
~Jack London

"Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if..." And then do it."
~Duane Michals, "More Joy of Photography"

"When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge."
~Tuli Kupferberg

Taking your quotes, print them onto the adhesive labels. Be sure to print enough for each bag to be labeled. Stick these onto each bag (neatly, please!)
Next, grab another sheet of labels. These go on the back of the glitter packets, and they're going to be printed with the link to the website I created for this project:

I also added a signature pawprint on the labels, but you can either replace it with your own signature clip or go without it completely.
After you print these labels out, stick them on the opposite sides of the bags. Your weapons of artistic chaos are now finished!

Now, place them anywhere. You can put a number of them in a small box with a "take me" sign, or you can just place each bag conspicuously in a random spot where someone will find it (and hopefully take it home).

Once finished, sit back and let creativity and chaos spread!
