A Simple Scene

I have been thinking of some way to recycle the cookie tins that were lying around. An idea of painting some scenery came into my mind. Instead of just painting, i thought of adding some recycled materials to create a scene.


I painted the sky and a landscape. Then I added  cloud, sun, small birds, plant, a small hut, lawn and butterflies.


The small piece of cloud was cutout of corn husk.

The sun, birds, leaves in the plant were from a waste cardboard  (cereal box).

A dried stick was used as a stem of the plant.

The flower was cutout from a waste plastic milk jug.

The small butterfly is made from a waste tissue roll.

The hut was made with dried pine leaves.

I used some fresh pine leaves for the lawn around the hut.

Here is the outcome,
