Abbie's independent project proposal

For my project, I'm taking from zen ideas and Chinese to create a wall sculpture. I will have four tiles (if it doesn't take me long, I'll make more) and put Chinese birds and words on them. I would also like to do some research on Chinese proverbs and maybe incorporate those, too. The tiles will have birds and branches and be soft and very "zen". I want it to be relaxing and bring a calm peace to the room that it's in. Also, I will take a piece of wood and stain it whichever color I want. I will then mount the tiles onto the wood. Somewhere in there, I want it to say "Inhale love, exhale hate" in Chinese because that saying means a lot to me, and I want to be able to remind myself to stay positive. (If I choose to hang it somewhere in my home.) I don't know how to better explain it, so I guess I will do a better job in person! The following pictures are some of the kids of birds I would like to put on it, as well as the Chinese symbol for "bird":

    I love this idea so much. I think that you might want to think about how the colors and textures will affect the feeling/mood of your tiles. Also, maybe you could do larger than normal tiles, like maybe 2 ft x 2 ft or something like that.

    I agree with Jesse about the scale of your tiles. I really love your ideas. This also allows flexibility if you get bored or work really fast.

    I really like your idea of creating tiles, but have you decided what colors you want to use. Are you making four different birds or even more?
