I don't want to press the button
It's going to start a war
I don't want to face the consequences
any more.
I've just played with Suzuko buttons.
A bit wonky after quilting, but I love it!

The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
I bought this small cloth purse at a yard sale several years ago. I attached this button with heavy duty thread. The cord strap makes it perfect to put it across my shoulder and wear it under my coat. It holds my cards and some spare change when I go shopping,

I'm afraid I'm not feeling hugely inspired at the moment, so here's another button from my collection. It dates from the late 19th Century and it's quite large at 1½" across. The button is leaning against a (barely visible) vintage Sylko cotton reel and I added in a few of my trusty Hydrangea flowers for good measure.
Hope you don't mind a break from the texture work but I haven't done one of this type of flower photo for ages!
For the Macro Mondays theme of 'transportation'. The ignition button in our car replaces the ignition key you'd get in other models and sits on the dash to the left of the steering wheel . It is less than an inch in diameter.
