A Pocket Full of Posies
A Pocket Full of Posies
Ring a-ring o’ roses,
A pocketful of posies.
a-tissue!, a-tissue!.
We all fall down.
I created this from a tissue box for the Mini Challenge: Recycled Art over in the forums here on RB. The tissue box shall now live on my kitchen bench and is the new dispenser for recyclable plastic bags :)
this was painted using aquarelle watercolour crayons and black marker pen, over an undercoat of white gesso…fixative applied liberally after to protect the paint work
I thought this poem was very appropriate and hence the title….as it was originally a box full of tissues :) there are many variations of this poem, the one i’ve quoted is the UK version.

You have such fantastic ideas, Karin! I love the whole concept of the poem, your new use for this wonderful creation you have made from a recycled tissue box, and of course the beautiful, though somewhat sad personality you have imbued the character with.

Your new work is just divine Kaz ~ it’s so full of hope and inspiration and sings to me… it seems to be coming from a truly personal space deep in side of you and your ‘inspiration’ has come flowing back ten-fold… Your trip seems to have reinvigorated you in so many wonderful ways. I’m looking forward to seeing so much more. Kaz x
