17. Glue the piece of cardstock from earlier to the back of the top piece covering the wire-notice that I also covered the back of the focal button with the cardstock as well. I run my fingernail along the cardstock on each side of the wire, this just helps it to stick better.
18. This picture isn't too good, but you will notice a gap at the top of the head where the wire twist is-I just fill this in with a bit of white glue.
Button Gwinnett (1735 – May 19 or 27, 1777) was an British-born American political leader who, as a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, was the second of the signatories (first signature on the left) on the United States Declaration of Independence. He was also, briefly, the provisional president of Georgia in 1777, and Gwinnett County (now a major suburb of metropolitan Atlanta) was named for him. Gwinnett was killed in a duel by a rival, Lachlan McIntosh, following a dispute after a failed invasion of East Florida.
Gwinnett was born in 1735 in the parish of Down Hatherley in the county of Gloucestershire, Great Britain, to Welsh parents, the Reverend Samuel and Anne (née Button) Gwinnett. He was the first of his parents' seven children. There are conflicting reports as to his birth date, but he was baptized in St Catherine’s Church in Gloucester on April 10, 1735. After attending The King's School, Gloucester he started his career as a merchant in England. He then moved to Wolverhampton in 1755 and married a local, Ann Bourne, in 1757 at St. Peter's Church at the age of 22. In 1762 the couple left Wolverhampton and moved to America.
Arriving first in Charleston, South Carolina, by 1765 they had traveled to Georgia. Gwinnett abandoned his mercantile pursuits, selling off all his merchandise to buy a tract of land where he started a plantation. He prospered as a planter, and by 1769 had gained such local prominence that he was elected to the Provincial Assembly. During his tenure in the Assembly, Gwinnett's chief political rival was Lachlan McIntosh, and Lyman Hall was his closest ally. Gwinnett did not become a strong advocate of colonial rights until 1775, when St. John's Parish, which encompassed his lands, threatened to secede from Georgia due to the colony's rather conservative response to the events of the times.

A button top idea for the Project 64 button panel, More info. Two pieces of clear acrylic are stacked on top of each other. The bottom one (1/8") has a cross shape cut that fits onto the post of the button, the top one is 1/4" thick. This is just a test to see what it looks like, later they would get centered and glued.

I used the brittle pages from an old book as the background, stamped the flower image, added vintage buttons and inked the edges to make these inchies. I just love how they turned out.
Buttoned Up Sun--my Aunt Floy just loved metal buttons. She made bracelets with them and told me she bought them for .01 a piece. I used some of my collection on this mixed media piece with a concrete and metallic sun on a wood tray with crystal accents, 17".

Who's going to get the button? I leave you with this shot for the weekend.
It's no wonder this bird is endangered .. it apparently has no fear of humans. Looking at every turn for a free meal. Apparently this one thinks a button looks like a tasty acorn.
By the way, this hat and head belongs to our friend, Barbaralynne.
Have a great weekend boys and girls. If you got sun AND warm consider yourself lucky. We still have snow and cold. Sigh.
All the woodland creatures know it's springtime, someone needs to tell OLD MAN WINTER to turn things over to MOTHER NATURE so we can warm up, green up and flower up!!
