Buttons

SO I thought I would share my latest creations with you. To begin with I have a new found love for buttons. I have a huge bag of them that I just keep adding to whenever I can. One of my favorite things to do is go to this really cool vintage shop on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and sort through their buttons. They have an old red wagon just filled with them...all kinds and colors. It paradise for someone like me. I think Josh gets a kick out of it too...its like I'm on a treasure hunt trying to find the most unique buttons I can.

Now to go back to the beginning though I first started working with buttons last year. I made my mom a mothers day present last year and the idea was to use buttons to represent thr foliage of a tree. It was really cool in my opinion and from there I decided that I wanted to make another button tree for my house as well!

The other button project that I took on tonight was making button flowers as I call them. I saw something very similar to them on a trip this past summer and I fell in love with them. I hope you enjoy my latest creations! I had a good time today making them! I miss making art...its something that I wish I had more time for!
