Exchange

Today was my lucky day. I was selected at random to be the recipient of a piece of artwork. There is just one proviso.

Exchange is an artwork by Clare Twomey, on display at the wonderful Foundling Museum. It comprises 1,550 cups and saucers. Marked on the base of each cup and on its corresponding saucer is a commission to undertake a good deed. If you are one of the ten people selected to pick a cup each day, and you agree to do the deed, you take a way the cup, leaving behind the saucer. This is analogous to the separation of the foundlings from their mothers.

So ... what is my good deed? I have to 'leave small, handmade toys for people to find'. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Here is a piccie of yours truly with her cup :)
