Knew I Kept Those Crutches For A Reason


I admit, that I left this one until the last minute. Josh's theme is Spines and Hospitals. I had other ideas, but then Monday morning I was putting my shoe on and looked at the big red scar that curves around my ankle. Then I looked up and saw my crutches. An idea was born. I started with the red ink on the end of my crutch and stamped the paper. That looked like a poorly done Target ad, so I added the black stamps. Then I started drawing stitches. At that point, I thought, what the heck, lets do some real stitching. So I cut holes in the paper, backed it with red construction paper and stitched them up. They actually, look not unlike the scars on my ankles.
