Description

I was supposed to be straightening up my workspace last night. But as I sat there putting things away, I picked up an empty medicine bottle, and noticed some of those little cylinders I'd brought home from the supermarket where I work -- the ones that have the cash register tape around them. "I wonder what it would look like if I put the cylinder inside the medicine bottle?"

Clean-up was forgotten as I moved things out of the way and started playing around with my stash of found objects. I had a big blue lid from a can of peanuts -- that'll made a nice surface. Two cylinders, two medicine bottles, hey this key could be a nose! And these tabs can be a bow tie.

Bit by bit it came together, until I showed it to my daughter and she said, “It looks like breasts.” Not exactly what I was going for. LOL

But I did like what I had, so I pulled my photo into my photo editing software and began to play around. Change the colors, lighten this, darken that. Yeah, it doesn’t look like breasts anymore. The final touch was darkening the rim on the lid to give the appearance of a wide smile. Cute!
