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.
We have no idea. It's lost to history. All that can be remembered about the history of this button is that it was given out to employees of Ideal Mutual, an insurance company. To inspire the workers, a guy in a black cape would stalk the offices, for he was the Ideal BAD guy. BAD was an acronym, but for what? We don't remember.
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.

There will probably be a few macro shots in my stream for a while. I got my lens yesterday after waiting for it for 2 and a half months! I probably could have used this for over/under and geometry as well, but I might see if I can shoot something else for those two.

A Lovely hand made Glass Button my sister gave me for a birthday years ago. I love it but have not decided where to use it yet!
I ran across this mysterious button and have no idea what it was on or where it came from. It seems to present a scene of some sort. It is about 40mm in diameter and is surprisingly heavy. It is some sort of metal. At first I thought Pewter but it seems too dark for that. It is too hard for lead but perhaps some sort of alloy. Any info would be appreciated.
I've always thought of boot buttons as black, but it seems some of them were very colourful. I don't know how many buttons were on each boot, but it's hard to imagine pulling a boot on and having to draw each button through a hole with a button hook. I guess they got used to it, but what a performance! Both the boot buttons and the folding button hook date from the 1910s. The buttons are ⅜" wide.
This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)
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.

So, i did a bunch more sneaky stuff, to make this happen, to the point , i even had to delete the C button shortcut, to stop it glitching out and cloning everything multiple times, till it crashed 😅
Now you can see its purpose, also just ignore the green tiles that are leaching on the cabin 😧😧

I hope its apparent now, all the bits that led to this point from the other ships, certain parts made for some of the earlier ships, get recycled or upcycled and man, have i enjoyed this style and the original artists designs so much 😁😁
I endeavour to make better looking engines, as i continue to progress and as i look at more reference materials, cause its a confusing topic, they all look extremely different, also art can be vague in the more detailed areas and dark spots, so its hard to imagine what to fill in the blanks with and stay true to the rest of the design and avoid creating a mashup.
Ill get another angle or two and maybe try for a ship link up or two, if i can and then move on to the next one 😁
Anyways, i hope you enjoy as much as i do and have a great day 😁
This button fairy now resides in Melbourne, Florida!
UPDATE 01/19/08 -- Sadly, this fairy didn't find her way to Melbourne. Maybe the postal service kidnapped her and she's hanging on someone's desk????? I don't know, but I am going to make a replacement and send it out to my partner. I hope the 2nd one will make it.
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!
For Macro Mondays theme; "Button(s)"
Fur Rondy is an annual event that takes place in Anchorage Alaska. Each year a new button is created to commemorate the event. I am especially fond of this one in my collection.
HMM!
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.
Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.
