This series is of some little shortbread buttons I made for my baby shower (in March 08 - I'm a bit behind in uploading ;-p). Topped with pink and blue tinted white chocolate (as we chose to keep the sex of our baby a surprise). We now have our darling little girl, Lucia, who whilst in-utero was named Button!
I got a bit out of control with the processing of these photos - I wanted to try every possible variation! I've narrowed it down to 2-3 variations of each to upload here. I think the simplest ones ended up looking the best.
I love using buttons as a design element. For this swap the buttons works as a way of tying together different garments in my wardrobe. The striped blue and white buttons on the sailor pants picks up the white in my tops. And the black and white buttons on the polo shirt connects to my darker bottoms.
The black and white buttons on the gray dress matches the black and white leaf print on the hem of the dress.
More uses for the buttons.... Shoe clips came to mind. I love all those pricey embellished flats, but not the prices. So shoe clips are the next best thing to jazz up my feet. They're great for sandals too.
This pair of clips above are great, the colors went really well together. I've had these shoes a long time, and the two little buttons on the side are wearing down, so I just clipped these over them, and away we go, new pair of shoes!!
This card features two idea that I've admired on other people's cards on Flickr.
The first one is to use a rubber stamp to make an overall background design and the
other one is using buttons. I really like the look of cards with buttons. The stamps I've
used here are from the Hero Arts Quatros set LL063 Pinwheels. I hand stitched the buttons on to the card. I like the way that the shapes, sizes and colours of the buttons
echo the stamped background.
My brother went back home (ontario, canada) for a wedding, but he also stopped in to see relatives and our grandmother gave him a whole bunch of buttons to pass on to me. Most of the 5-10 pounds or so of buttons are mother of pearl, and a select few like seen here are colored mother of pearl. Nice stuff. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. :)
50 round buttons in black and gray colors. Mixed sizes measure about 15 mm to 21 mm wide. New and unused buttons.
This is a closer photo and you can see the different patterns.
The smallest buttons are only 1cm wide and the largest ones are 1 and 3/4 cms wide.
The two apricot ones are beautiful.
The plain white one in front of the apricot ones is all fabric.
They were very stained by age and I have soaked them gently in mild soap and they do look a lot better.
Several of them did not survive the half hour soak but this allowed me to see how they were made.I don't think they would survive on my WISP white piece that I am supposed to be working on but I may include some in a pocket for Susan.
Six black buttons for suspenders or bracers on ivory surface. Opened package with suspenders. Light effect. High point of view.
Here are some 1" buttons I made tonight. Most of them feature Jesus, but there are some of Mary and a few other saints. Kitsch at its best.
Cheyenne is starting little Buttons, getting him used to human contact and being touched. He was very nervous at first, but he is now much more relaxed and starting to trust her. This is going to take a bit of time because Buttons is 98% wild, and has had very little human contact. In five days he has gone from panicking over everything, to trusting her to tickle his muzzle, and to eat from a bucket she is holding (this entails him putting his eye close to her hand, which requires a great deal of trust on his part.) Well done Buttons and Cheyenne!

These are the ATC's I originally had in mind for the Threaded ATC swap. One of them had a mark on the card so I covered it with a button and added a few more for balance. I really like adding the buttons to these woven ATC's.
The little blue ones are from stash--who knows how long I've had them or what I used the rest of them for--and the big one is from my grandmother's sewing room after she passed away.
I'm using fabric from my maternal grandmother's wedding dress to cover buttons to hang the advent tree ornaments from.
(In my defense, she initiated the chopping up of that lovely dress -- I have just a yard or so of the fabric.)
