Worn

Worn:

For me, this word brings up images of tired old toys, forgotten and banished to await the day their former owners simply throw them out. It seems in today's society few children understand the meaning of these relics. To many of them have had everything handed to them on a silver plate, brand new and shiny. No respect for the toys our elders once passed down, when something is broken they just buy a replacement. Mending is a thing of the past for them.

At least the spider has a friend now ;). Nice work.

Unless it's a small bunny passed on to someone older who's been mended and seen much better days.

This is really an illustration of something worn...
Nice work, it also evokes some melanchony, remote memories of a past childhood

Sweet and sad at the same time.
