At the start of this school year I could't wait to see the list of books I needed to buy for the first year. Yes, I'm a geek like that. I decided I shouldn't order them all at once, because it was quite expensive. I picked a few that seemed important or interesting.

The first exercise I'm going to do is #5 in the book and is called "The first thing you see". The assignment is to start a collection based on the first found object you see on your walk, this can be everything! It all started with a piece of candy on the sidewalk..

I was still fascinated by the fact that there are so many kinds of candy and I decided I wanted to turn this thought into an image, with the following result:

Doesn't that look perfect? I know it's slightly OCD, but I can stare at this collection for hours. Well, maybe not hours.. I would probably get hungry again. iiiiii want candy!
