Art Abandonment at Dublin Zoo

I did a bit of Art Abandonment at the Dublin Zoo this weekend.
What is Art Abandonment?

Art Abandonment is a group of artists and crafts people who create art and then leave it in random places around the world for others to find. It is designed to encourage random acts of art kindness in our community. The idea is that folks can make something and leave it for a lucky unsuspecting person to find. The project was started by Michael deMeng, and you can read more about it here. Below is a video of just some of the places I left behind my art of keyrings, paintings, and little hand made trinkets.

Random Act of Kindness

I did it. I finally ordered some mini business cards that I can stick to some of the random acts of kindness that I do. I think that kindness makes the world go around – and that when one can’t find any kindness in the world you have to be the kindness for someone else. The cards are pretty – red and black – and have a very simple message. Kindness is Contagious. On the reverse, it says “this has been a random act of kindness” and encourages someone else to Pay it forward. There’s also a link to a website which has lots of great ideas for your own RAOK.

Now that I have the cards, I’ve attached them to 4 Kit Kats and put them on the desks of my colleagues. Hopefully, it’s the first of a few to go around the office. 🙂
