Reusable lunch bag

Get Pushed Challenge #613
My partner challenged me to use the word ‘Palimpsest’ as the subject for a photo.
- a manuscript or piece of writing material on which later writing has been superimposed on effaced earlier writing.
- something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form.
I thought about this all week. I rode around town trying to find "edited" signs. I was going to try a composite of some sort to give the illusion of a palimpsest. Nope, nope, nope! Finally in desperation I thought of this.

I apologize for the low light.
@annied Sorry for this rather wretched image to depict the word palimpsest. Just couldn't come up with anything else. Thank you for your challenge and I will post a better example if I can ever come across one.

Nailed a difficult challenge

I think you completed the challenge perfectly

I love your original thought.

It makes a nice lowkey image. That certainly is a new word to me. I think you handled it really well.

That's an interesting interpretation of the word, very clever.

Oh that is fun as an idea

Great pic and I love the handwriting

What a challenge!! Well done.

That truly was a challenge- and you managed to come up with something that worked for it. Good job!

I think this is a great idea. I like the humorous touch.

Thank you everyone. I do hope that none of you ever gets this word as a challenge. In case you do, start now looking for examples so you have photos in your cache.

a very creative response to the challenge - I didn't realise it would be so difficult as I see examples of it quite often in graffiti and around the city streets. Well done!
I didn't get to your challenge this week but hopefully will be able to give it a go in the future.

@randystreat Ah, gee! Have I wasted this prop ( the textbook) by using it with the chocolates? https://365project.org/mcsiegle/theme-months/2024-04-11
If I get that challenge, I’ll have to look for something different. 🤣

Desperation often drives us forward. You completed a difficult task brilliantly.

@haskar I appreciate the encouragement. Thank you, Hannah.

@annied not much graffiti around here. I was hoping for some old signs that had been painted on a building wall and a new sign on top or around, but none to be found. I’m glad you liked it. It was as always a treat to be challenged.
@mcsiegle I guess you could showcase it (the books) in a different way if you ever get that challenge. Good luck to you if you do.
