Buttons used as the "texture" of a pedestrian walkway partition. Kitchener, Ontario, Canada 07.09.2015
Entre outubro e novembro do ano passado rolou a sétima edição do evento Ilustra Brasil ( www.ilustrabrasil.com.br/rio ), que por mérito de alguams pessoas muito especiais conseguiram levar a edição do Rio de Janeiro para acontecer no SENAI onde trabalho. E eu, com muito gosto fui me metendo a ajudar e dar força em tudo que podia, no apoio quanto a divulgação, ajuste de material institucional, apoio na montagem, etc. Todo mundo ralou muito, e o evento foi um marco importante na escola, que nos abriu algumas portas, e isso é muito bom.
Como na época eu já estava produzindo buttons, acabei fazendo um para mim (que não sai da minha mochila) e fiz alguns para presentear professores e organizadores do eventos e os monitores que ajudaram. Fiz também alguns para sortear lá depois das palestras. Ninguém me pediu nem nada, meti as caras, fiz por conta própria e levei lá pro pessoal, todos gostaram. Mas como fiz poucos, então quem conseguiu, e bom guardar, rsrs.

We always had a button jar in the house when I was a child. It was a great source of entertainment. Still is!!
Possibly the most outrageously priced buttons ever! But worth it to make my bargain coat look unique!

It's late, and despite going for a walk for inspiration today, and a half planned shot, the sun went in ... and the ribbon of cloud persisted along where the sun was for the rest of the afternoon ...bad timing really, but it's left me walking around the house looking for a pic.
Desparation made me look at all sorts of things, and these are the buttons on a cushion ... with the fabric worn off ... that glinted a lamp light at me ... salvation; of sorts :-)
Starting today on my blog: five weeks, one lesson per week, a big bowl of buttons you made yourself. No experience with polymer clay necessary. Check it out!
P.S. It's free :-)
Inspired by Trevira, I decided to scan my collection of buttons. These are all my presidential buttons... so it looks like I've missed a couple years in there. I was there, I guess I didn't like the buttons.
I also just saw the documentary about George McGovern, "One Bright Shining Moment" and it made me think about times when there were real heroes and brave people who believed in doing the right thing.
My current fave is "Fermez La Bush" but someone recently asked me if it was for or against Bush, so I'm a bit concerned. (It's against)
Buttons for man's shirt. Will look great when sown on a white or blue shirt.

I enjoy making this pattern. This one has no buttons up the back. The fabric is Alexander Henry Voile. I wish I had bought the whole bolt.
Picture taken at Butterfly World. That is one hot and humid place. They have hand dryers to warm up your camera lens so it doesn't get condensation on it.
I found Holly Sleighbells today in Target and decided to do a group shot.
I have from left to right:
Marina Anchors, Mittens Fluff 'N' Stuff, Holly Sleighbells, Candy Broomsticks, Dot Starlight and Bea Spells-a-Lot.
Fun fact: My Bea has two right feet, and as such reminds me of The Raggy Dolls.

Perfect pillow for reading in bed. ;o) My pillow design features a scrappy appliqued heart, buttons and a patchwork back. Easily zips on and off a pillow form.
Buttons as in lift (or elevator as this was taken in Chicago) buttons on this stunning Art Deco style example. Although submitted in 2015 the picture was taken in September 2014.
My Flickr records show I have now submitted 52 pictures although my written records show only 50 pictures for the 52 in 2014 challenge. Think I'll go with the Flickr records and move onto the 52 in 2015 challenge.
Many thanks to all who have taken the time to view and, most of all, comment on my pictures. I have really enjoyed the challenge and thanks must go to those who set it up in the first place. It has been a challenge but it is good as a photographer to be challenged.
Here's to 2015.
These are vintage buttons that I got from an op shop (thrift shop) here in Canberra yesterday.
They are very old and are a type of Dorset button--they are worked on a ring the same as a Dorset button with buttonwhole stitch around the metal ring but then the design changes.The patterns on them are beautiful
