The Plan...

We’ve sat and schemed over cups of tea in to the early hours and finally pieced together the plan we’ve been discussing for a few months. Our chosen motif will be numbers, randomly generated from 0 – 500. ‘Why numbers?’ I hear you ask. Numbers can bring pattern, KtShortcake likes pattern, they can also bring routine, Zeale likes routine, but overall it was the only motif we came up with that didn’t feel contrived or overdone. It felt right. The limit is in place so we don’t get swallowed up but ginormous digits. We’ll only have a week to create something so we can’t spend all that time counting to 6,854. We’ve also got to use something we wouldn’t normally, which will help with the next stipulation of not being to precious about our works. Ultimately we need to enjoy this venture, so we’ll keep it flexible and change it up should we need to.
