Be amused and entertained by what tools develop out of what is at hand. It pleases me that the lack of some implement has led me to some alternate playful approach to an activity that I never would have discerned without the detour of inconvenience.
Consider.
I collected ocean fishing lures after a beach storm. I was going to make something, but I just got interested in the pieces. I wanted to make beach charms out of feather and bones and shells. I had forgotten to put needle-nose pliers in my pocket. I ended up using rough sea stones to create a frictional cutting edge. I remember thinking that I had rediscovered the predecessor of scissors.
