All small items—Alpha-Mail, Good Impressions, and Opposites Attract—will be featured in this cabinet of curiosities. Additionally I plan on printing out definitions of synonyms, homonyms, and antonyms and framing them in small frames to be displayed on the shelf as well.
My posters—Consonants & Vowels and What Do You Call it?—will be hung on the wall next to it. I have decided against framing them as I think it will change the intention of the work, and instead will back them with cork or some other material to elevate them off the wall.

Opposites Attract:
1. here & there
2. now & then
3. back & forth
4. in & out
5. this & that
6. left & right
7. more & less
8. major & minor
9. over & under
10. above & below
Might not be practical cost-wise to do all ten.
Many were inadvertently generated when I started mindlessly humming this song from The Sword & the Stone.

Alnico magnets to purchase from here. Going to buy another set to test how they repel when stacked. At the moment the magnets when placed on a board do not repel as much as I would like. I'm hoping by stacking them less of the magnetic force will be carried to the magnetic board. $12.95 x 8 = ~$104 (not including shipping).

The magnets are not as finished as I would like, and are stamped with N and S representing the north and south poles of the magnets. I plan on using plumbers putty to fill in the stamped letters. I will also dip each stacked magnet into Plasti Dip (~$10) to create a rubber coating on the magnets and make them more finished.
Found a tutorial for rubber coating magnets here. The internet is great!
