A few of the other pictures I took for this week's Macro Mondays Buttons and Bows theme

Vintage button card, with new buttons (or rather, old buttons covered with patterned and stamped tissue paper so they look new).

This was another photo taken for the BoA photography group theme - One of these things is not like the other.

 

For all of you non UK residents, the chocolate is the classic 'Cadbury buttons' - a favourite for virtually every kid I know (me included).

My favourites is the pencil if you couldn't tell :)

just love this big one!

Looking through an old sewing kit belonging to my late mother in law, I found a huge collection of buttons. I gathered up the prettier ones for a pose or two.

 

A shoutout to my sister Flickrite Buttons McTavish, whose name got me thinking about these buttons in the first place.

...on a new fleece hooded coat/jacket. it's now 8 or 9 months since I've been in a thrift shop! Online clothes shopping is an adjustment. For Our Daily Challenge topic - Four

A few of these buttons to cover were made with some of the scraps I received!

I love this shot.

Becky took it at Kingston Maurwood near Dorchester.

It is an agricultural college but you can go and visit and feed the animals.

This is one of the donkeys who is called Buttons. Take a look at the large size.

vintage white buttons .vintage white ( cream ) wool and covered it with all vintage white buttons !! Very yummy ..and yes , I sewed everyone on !

Buttons are arranged above lines drawn to look like string so that they look like a floating bunch of balloons.

  

Knitted this for myself, and I would say I'm pretty much ready for fall :)

Vintage lot... there was so much to choose from!

I bought some new whopping, great buttons from Anglia Fashion Fabrics.

big thanks to Zoe for helping us with buttons!

Turns out my button tin isn't very exciting, so after a few false starts with my still life I ended up choosing these three gold buttons, most likely relics from the 1980s. This lead me on to thinking about displaying them like museum pieces on a pedestal.

buttons....don't know what the one on the right does....

I don't know what it is, but brightly-colored buttons make me happy. I love to have them around as eye candy.

New designs and colors of Bead Buttons. Also called Pearl Buttons. Dots, Spirals (look like stripes) and layered dots.

Trying to find something around here that is whimsical for the challenge that I did not put together. Does this meet the definition? This is in my workroom. Husband built the bottom ribbon shelves from old pallets. What can I say? I REALLY like to wrap presents.

these ones hold quit a story...

Buttons

 

How many people still have a button collection these days?

 

6x6 inches, colored pencil and graphite

 

Bang a gong, toot horns, this project, which has been sitting unfinished for 18 months finally is finished. I drew it as a companion piece of red white and blue buttons from the can I inherited from my mother. It seemed like a good idea at first, then the picky-ness of it all got to me. Still, I like it now that it's no long hanging over my head.

  

Old coat buttons bought for me from a car boot sale by my lovely mother-in-law. Scrumptious.

I've been invited to make a presentation in October at a women's social club (women who lunch) about the work I've created pre-embroidery and current embroidery work. The selection committee saw my silk scarves, my unfinished wrapping cloth sections, and my buttons. So I've set about making more buttons and am determined to finish my wrapping cloth.

 

These 2 1/2 inch buttons use vintage handkerchief lace and broderie anglais. I've added web stitches and lots of French knots.
