My fabulous package from Jen in the Vintage Button Swap! Gorgeous red, black and white buttons, a pile of fabulous fabric scraps, two embroidered linen teatowels, a pile of paper ephemera, and a kitschy craft book! More descriptions on my blog: paper.string.cloth
HMM- the Macro Mondays group’s theme for today, 5/24, is button(s). This is the innards of a Simon Says game and you use these buttons to replicate the random pattern presented to you. This probably won’t be my posting for today.
"Eagle, Anchor, Globe". USMC. This is a 3/4 inch button from the uniform of Charles E. Fay. He was the father of my spouse, Pam, and served in the Pacific Theater during WWII. He passed in 1967 when Pam was a senior in high school. We found the button today when going through the button box of Pam's mother who will celebrate her 99th birthday this weekend. A nice find. Memories.
Button grass has apparently become something of a weed... but the textures it brings are quite striking...

For "smile on saturday" - "behold the button".
atc for "Wacky" swap. i was given 6 found objects and had to make an atc with each one. the object for this one was a black button that accidently broke enroute to my house via USPS. i thought it was more fun and challenging that it was broken.

There will probably be a few macro shots in my stream for a while. I got my lens yesterday after waiting for it for 2 and a half months! I probably could have used this for over/under and geometry as well, but I might see if I can shoot something else for those two.

Some Madrona Rd, some Grunge, some paper piecing, buttons and hand quilting equals sooooo much fun!;)
A Lovely hand made Glass Button my sister gave me for a birthday years ago. I love it but have not decided where to use it yet!
We have no idea. It's lost to history. All that can be remembered about the history of this button is that it was given out to employees of Ideal Mutual, an insurance company. To inspire the workers, a guy in a black cape would stalk the offices, for he was the Ideal BAD guy. BAD was an acronym, but for what? We don't remember.
Sewing items hastily thrown together in a bowl. The buttons and thread spools casually mingle waiting to be used again.
I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.
This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)
I've always thought of boot buttons as black, but it seems some of them were very colourful. I don't know how many buttons were on each boot, but it's hard to imagine pulling a boot on and having to draw each button through a hole with a button hook. I guess they got used to it, but what a performance! Both the boot buttons and the folding button hook date from the 1910s. The buttons are ⅜" wide.
Lots of buttony goodness.

Silk Button Galls, my favourite galls, are created by the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis)!
Neuroterus numismalis is a gall wasp that has two generations per year. One being sexual and the other agamic (all female and needs no male to reproduce). The sexual generation causes Blister Galls on Oak leaves. Whereas the agamic generation causes Silk Button Galls on the underside of Oak leaves. This gall wasp is common and widespread in Britain.
The Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. This gall holds the agamic generation and looks like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. It is a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.
