I have been watching the war map slammed up for
advertising in front of the newspaper office.
Buttons--red and yellow buttons--blue and black buttons--
are shoved back and forth across the map.
A laughing young man, sunny with freckles,
Climbs a ladder, yells a joke to somebody in the crowd,
And then fixes a yellow button one inch west
And follows the yellow button with a black button one
inch west.
(Ten thousand men and boys twist on their bodies in
a red soak along a river edge,
Gasping of wounds, calling for water, some rattling
death in their throats.)
Who would guess what it cost to move two buttons one
inch on the war map here in front of the newspaper
office where the freckle-faced young man is laughing
to us?
Buttons is the larger of these 2 little ones ... not sure yet if the smaller one is a buck or not .. but both are kinda cute!
It's too overcast to get good light and the painting is much to big to scan in one go, so here are some highlights. I'm quite proud of these little guys! I see that I still need to tidy some of them up and am living with the fact that some are not quite the right shape.
Entertaining myself playing around with a cheap Macro Ring flash. Fired just the right half of the ring in this shot. I probably should have used a shorter focal length.

This is the way I display all the wonderful mother-of-pearl buttons I got from my grandmother. Rather than have them sit in a drawer, they hang on the wall.

Took this in Gillies Fabrics in York. I don't normally include frames but I thought this image could take a frame...what do you think...?
I treated my bubble space to a gift in the form of a couple of beautiful blog buttons (with my Lati dolls).
They make me happy.
Have a Super Thursday.
Love to you.

Fantasia Watercolor Pencils on Canson Watercolor Paper 140 lb. Used an electric eraser to take out paint for highlights, along with a touch of Guache in a few places. Used a bit of permanent marker for the very dark areas.
As you can see I've been rumbling around with the boys, today!!
