Button Teapot

One of the first songs I learned to sing as a child was this:

I'm a little teapot

Short and stout

Here is my handle

Here is my spout.

When the kettle's boiling

Hear me shout

Tip me up

And pour me out.

I was certainly short and stout, and would act out the part of the teapot, using one arm for the handle and the other arm for the spout. Even more fun than singing that song was illustrating it with this colorful design that features buttons and seed beads.
