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
1. First, you will need:
wire, about 24" (I find 22 and 24 gauge to work best)
various buttons
face image(collage sheets, photos, clip art, etc)
wings(collage or clip art images, drawn, clay, shrink plastic, etc)
wire cutters
card stock
glue
scissors
2/3. First, decide how much of the picture you wish to use and how you want to place it with the wings. I decided to use just the face for this one. I like to glue the wings and face to a piece of cardstock to make it a little stronger, then cut them out.
4. Next, I like to lay out my buttons to get an idea of what combination I like.
After my last posting I missed a button from my dress. Yesterday I found it, so
I lost a button,
A little silver button,
So I looked for my button
Most everywhere.
I found my button,
My gold rimmed button,
So I sewed on my button
Most firmly there.
Just to make you smile!
With apologies to AAMilne.

Button grass has apparently become something of a weed... but the textures it brings are quite striking...

White-tailed buck, male deer younger than six months old that it’s not yet considered a yearling.
I made these for 2 of my friends who are starting their first year of teaching on Tuesday :) They'll go perfect in their classrooms!
I was considering putting this up as one of my photos for the Macro Monday theme Button(s) but thought that as some one had already put a similar photo up it would miss the Cut. This is a button from my Number 1 Home Dress whilst I served in the Royal Air Force from January 1977 until July 2014. Per Ardua ad Astra "Through adversity to the stars"
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!
just playing with some ideas....
.....also don't forget, you can always read and see more on my blog, raspberry.co.uk!
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.

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.
These delightful 'button mums' are very perky and bright. Usually only 1 - 1.5" across, they provide a warm glow during the autumn time period.
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.

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.
