This came out blurry, but it was too adorable to let go. She was searching and searching, but her belly button she could not find.
Buttoned Down Disco celebrated it's 8th birthday party at KOKO in Camden, with 24 kilos of glitter, two huge balloon drops, and lots and lots of happy smiling faces!

Two pretty peach plastic vintage buttons are combined. On top is a light pink or peach button, molded with flowers and swirls. It's paired with a deeper peach-colored button, this one thick with deep scallops.
My first try on making a jacket. I'm pretty happy with the result. It was really difficult to make, especially the collar and the lining took lots of patience... It's not 100% perfect, but it'll do for me :)
This is an idea that has been rolling around in my brain for a while - embroidered buttons. Here are some examples of what I have started doing.
Spring really influenced my idea for this card. I cut a tree from a piece of brown suede paper....it's amazing how much this paper looks and feels like real suede. Then I added kiwi colored buttons that I laced brown with a synthetic raffia. I like the synthetic raffia here because it is shiny. I used a dot stamp on the background with VersaMark ink to add interest. A strip of white between the "hills" was added because they needed some definition. I stamped "thanks" in white and embossed it. I stopped there because I've found if you look at a card and like it, it's best to call it done. If you start adding things, pretty soon there is too much going on.
Once I got the basic design of the button down (let's call it a sort of square top hat) I spent a bunch of time iterating - making slightly different versions, jamming them in my pocket, and trying to get them to fault.
While I was doing this lilia was ninja chopping the code. We still need to develop how we process the signals. Signal processing, ah. What does a button press look like? How long should it send a signal for? How long should it wait before sending another one?
Because I never tire of taking pictures of my button shelf and because I reorganized it a bit.
I've got an antique mirror hanging on the wall beside it just because.
The shelf was build by my great grandfather. Repainted by me, Summer 2010.
