My Creativity

All recyled

It’s important to recycle and reuse
When an object is no longer useful,
This is where my inspiration comes in
And my creativity becomes fruitful.

What do I have to start with?
A piece of wood from an old bed
Some faded fabric and leftover nails,
Cotton from an embroidery project
And lastly a drawing my son unveiled.

The tools I have at hand?
A hammer
Some glue,
My trusty scissors
Yes they’ll do.

I gaze over the materials
And suddenly inspiration comes to mind,
I’ll glue the fabric to the wood
Lay over the drawing and tack the outline.

I use my trusty scissors next
To cut away the drawing,
We now have a silhouette
As a result of our exploring.
