For Macro Mondays theme – 01/27/14: "Clothing"

atc for "Wacky" swap. i was given 6 found objects and had to make an atc with each one. the object for this one was a black button that accidently broke enroute to my house via USPS. i thought it was more fun and challenging that it was broken.

I made these for 2 of my friends who are starting their first year of teaching on Tuesday :) They'll go perfect in their classrooms!

Found growing on the trucked-in mulch in the rose garden.

I was considering putting this up as one of my photos for the Macro Monday theme Button(s) but thought that as some one had already put a similar photo up it would miss the Cut. This is a button from my Number 1 Home Dress whilst I served in the Royal Air Force from January 1977 until July 2014. Per Ardua ad Astra "Through adversity to the stars"

Attracted to the light from the kitchen and photographed on the window sill.

just playing with some ideas....

 

.....also don't forget, you can always read and see more on my blog, raspberry.co.uk!

Sewing items hastily thrown together in a bowl. The buttons and thread spools casually mingle waiting to be used again.

I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.

These delightful 'button mums' are very perky and bright. Usually only 1 - 1.5" across, they provide a warm glow during the autumn time period.

Silk Button Galls, my favourite galls, are created by the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis)!

 

Neuroterus numismalis is a gall wasp that has two generations per year. One being sexual and the other agamic (all female and needs no male to reproduce). The sexual generation causes Blister Galls on Oak leaves. Whereas the agamic generation causes Silk Button Galls on the underside of Oak leaves. This gall wasp is common and widespread in Britain.

 

The Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. This gall holds the agamic generation and looks like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. It is a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.

Macro Mondays - Button(s)

 

Explored 10.1.2016

The Eastern Tiger Yellow Swallowtail is a common summertime visitor to our yard. This one has lost a piece of a its tail wing tip, I so wanted to Photoshop it in, but decided that wouldn't be "honest." Swallowtails live for about two weeks and can get ragged looking pretty quickly.

Time to button up, and shut up!

I had to make these as a custom order for a little girl's room... I just love the way these flowers look so modern and fresh!

This is the biggest button I've ever seen!

Every year they appear I am fascinated by these amazing little galls! They take their name from the fact that they look like little buttons woven from golden threads! These beautiful looking little galls are made by the asexual generation of the wasp Neuroterus numismalis.

 

Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. They contain the agamic generation of the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis) and look like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. The galls are a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.
