I used this Shel Silverstein Poem- which I really love:
Listen to the mustn’ts child,
listen to the don’ts
listen to the shouldn’ts ,
the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves
then listen close to me
Anything can happen child,
ANYTHING can be
I created with backgrounds by just using Liquitex spray paints over some gesso textured pages and also through the cut out page. Easy and fun.
Do you have a favorite poem?

That is such a beautiful page! I LOVE that poem. I had forgotten all it until now.
I recently started making backgrounds in 2 art journals but have been at loss at what to start with. A poem is a great starting point. Time to crack open my favorite Alan Ginsberg or Walt Whitman and get going. Thanks for sharing and for all of the inspiration. :)

I’d never read this poem until today, but I love the message. Your did a great job combining the colors and using the cut-out

This is one of my favourite poems. And I am a lover of Shel Silverstein. I often use his poems to teach English to my pupils. I love how you used your cut out.
