Walkies!
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 6th of October is “white and green”, which left me lots of lovely options. One of the things I love to do is go exploring for different and interesting buttons to have sewn onto outfits I design to then wear. I was visiting a button specialist one day some years ago when she pulled out a small bag containing six Art Deco Bakelite terrier buttons in that vibrant green that was so popular in the 1920s. I fell in love with them straight away, and I cannot bear to sew them onto a shirt, for I fear at their advanced age of a century, they might not survive being washed, even by hand, and may lose their colour. So, I have kept them to use as photographic props instead, and it was they that inspired me for today’s theme. They are walking along the white lines of a striped Christmas box (yet another photographic prop) whilst white daisy shank buttons grow along the green. Together they make for a stylised walk in the park! I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!
