Quote - 'I wish I could'

For this quote, I had more trouble coming up with ideas. However after I started really thinking about it, I wanted to do it photographically as I didn't for either of the other quotes.
This lead me to the idea that I wanted to put the quote into the environment... originally hanging out of a tree. So I started creating the letterforms. 
The only card I had was very thick... it led to 4 blunt blades and a few painful blisters. 




Could I have picked a word with more curved edges?
I decided to use Helvetica Bold. It is legible, readable, and clear from a distance... now to put it into the environment.
I originally wanted to have them hanging from a tree.

This is the original little tree I wanted to use... which essentially gave me the idea to try this... but I now think the plants at the bottom retract from the shape of it.
Without becoming a garden murderer, I think I may try a different idea...

These are a couple of experiments trying to introduce colour to the actual letterforms.
However I think it retracts from the message.
