#MacroMondays #ButtonsandBows
No more than 3" or 7.5 cm (including negative space) - though going to the limits - the buttons are only 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) in diameter and the bow is 1.2 cm broad (0.472 inches)
"Buttons and bows" - I had to brood about this theme... buttons I do own a lot and bows aren't scarce good when Christmas is approaching ...
But: Which are really my favourite buttons?
There are only two, that will "win the race": the snooze button of my clock (ouch!) and the on buttons of my (little) coffee pad machine!! ; ) .. the shutter release button of my camera surely is unrivalled !!
As my snooze button is not really photogenic and there is nothing better than a cup of really hot and strong coffee in the morning, there was only one button left ..
This coffee maker is a very small and slim custom model (as I do not have the space for those bulky ones), hence the little buttons are on the top of the machine ...
I used the lilac face of a gold foil as background ... ... and I even found an appropriate ribbon for my favorite buttons .. : )
Happy Macro Monday everybody !!

"Buttons and bows" / Knöpfe und Schleifen ... das Thema hat mich echt ins Grübeln gebracht!
Knöpfe habe ich (wie wohl die meisten) etliche zuhause und Schleifen sind so kurz vor Weihnachten wirklich keine Mangelware ...
Aber: Was sind wirklich meine Lieblingsknöpfe?
Da gingen letztlich nur zwei ins Rennen: Der Schlummer-Knopf (Snooze-Taste) meines Weckers und die Anschaltknöpfe meiner kleinen Kaffee-Pad-Machine... (der Auslöser meiner Kamera ist natürlich außer Konkurrenz).
Ihr seht, wer gewonnen hat!
Die Snooze-Taste ist nicht wirklich fotogen und es geht letztlich nichts über einen heißen und starken Kaffee am Morgen.
Das ist ein sehr schmales und kleines (Sonder-)Modell (ich habe keinen Platz für die relativ bulligen Maschinen), daher sind die Anschaltknöpfe oben auf der Maschine hinter dem Pad-Behälter.
Die Vorgabe max. 7,6 cm ist daher eingehalten (wenn auch an die Grenzen gehend) : )
Ich habe die Lila Seite einer (Bastel-)Golfolie als Hintergrund benutzt ... und eine passende Schleife habe ich auch gefunden
Happy Macro Monday für alle!!
I tried and tried to spin a button like a coin but could never get a good focus with my macro lens. Finally, I gave up and shot this.
The 12/4/17 topic for #MacroMondays is #ButtonsAndBows. This button is located just forward of the trigger guard on my shotgun and serves as the safety switch. The gun has been stored unused in a case for quite a few years, and it felt good to throw it to my shoulder after all those years. Glad MM gave me an excuse to uncase it.
Wasn't sure if I had any bows, but then remembered I still had the box with one on from Christmas last year as I liked the box and bow.
Always a button around, that needs sewing back on to whatever it came off!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
Pressing this button operates the mechanism to uncouple a selected model railroad train car. From my childhood, it is over 60 years old. Size: 1 5/8 by 2 5/8 inches.
I think I might have severe button envy this week...I couldn't find any interesting ones in our house at all!
Macro of a foil self-stick bow. I'm not sure what the material is called, but it has colorful dots all throughout the foil.
Hidden in the bottom of the button box, a card of tiny mother of pearl buttons. With remnants of the copper foil backing used to enhance the display of these 1900 era French buttons, and hand written on the back of the card: "4f pièce".
For Macro Monday's
Subject: Buttons and Bows

I love to create beautiful bows from decorative ribbon this time of year. HMM, everyone ! !
Just a single Metal Button from the Hard Rock Cafe. I have this Denim Jacket for about 28 years and, as you can see it has been well used. This jacket has been my regular concert attire and has seen the Eagles, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, Roger Waters, Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan and even Madonna! If Jackets could talk, or sing......
I just knew that I would need it some day, just didn't know when or for what!
The button is 11mm diameter and the material around it is the Denim buttonhole with yellow edge stitching on the left!
Would like to Thank everyone for stopping by and commenting and also to all the Favs. It is always appreciated very much.

A tiny red bow holds the last door in our advent calendar closed tightly until Christmas.

For the Macro Mondays group, on the subject of 'Buttons and Bows'. I couldn't find any bows, but I still have a jar of children's craft buttons in assorted colours and shapes, so I decided to raid that...
One of my fellow instructors has a Bose ANR headset. Couldn't resist the temptation to get a bit of a twist on the subject Buttons and bows ;o)
From ear to ear she is less than 11/2", and as she's wearing a glam ribbon I thought I would show her off for macro Monday!
This weeks Macro Monday theme - Buttons and Bows.
Thanks for looking, your kind acknowledgements and likes. It is greatly appreciated. This is only my 2nd attempt at macro, so I am truly humbled by the response.
...er...I guess it looks more like a lion.
Anyway, I was rummaging through a jar of buttons that my wife keeps around, and I found this really cool one. So I did the natural thing; I stuck it to the end of my nose. :-)
This lets me cover three challenges with one shot today. For Our Daily Challenge: “The Eyes Have It,” and “That Face,” and for Macro Mondays: “Buttons And Bows” theme.
HMM
Side buttons were at one point an innovation for the Apple mouse that let the user access selected features of the operating system. Here the graceful curve of one of the side buttons beckons for one more squeeze.
It was inevitable - I got behind on ADAD. Playing catch up as quickly as I can!
