Challenge 20 at Story Time - Creative Souls

Treasures by: Claire Richcreek Thomas was the theme for this two-week challenge.  I wanted to finish mine early as September is a very busy month for me.  I used the "sleeping angel" painting by
John George Brown as the focal point and the background is a personal photo.    I also used filters including a watercolor option:

His overalls hung on the hook by his hat, and I noticed his pockets were bulging out fat.  So I emptied them out in a pile on the chair, and I tenderly touched ev'ry treasure with care.

There were three rubber bands, a parking lot ticket,

Two paper clips and a fishing cricket,

A camphor ball and an empty match box,

A half dozen nails and a couple of rocks,

A yellow golf tee, two lollypop sticks,

A marble, a spool and three tooth picks,

A knife and a pencil, some dry corn silk,

A wire and a cap from a bottle of milk,

A rusty door key and a white chicken feather,

An old clock gear and a piece of leather,

A flash-light bulb and three or four strings,

A broken dog biscuit and two hair springs,

Then I gathered them up, all his "treasures" so grand, ev'ry rock, ev'ry nail and each rubber band, and I put them all back, then I kissed him good-night, and he smiled in his sleep as I turned out the light.  And I thrilled as I thought of the fun and the joy such trival things could give to a boy.
