Buttons...in mixed media


I recently bought a bag of buttons with no particular plan.  That's what I do.  I buy the materials first and then come up with a plan for it later.  Because I love all the colors and shapes.  I've bought loads of beads, marbles, garage sale jewelry, agate slices, sea shells, and other miscellaneous items that appeal to me.  After I have them around and look at them for awhile, I begin to visualize the possibilties.
In this case the buttons went from this....



some became flowers...



Some became a part of mixed media art...





And finally, some became very organic brooches...





I think I'll wear this one on my jean jacket!






O.K....I think I got the buttons out of my system for awhile...

  1. Buttons are generally cheery things - it quite impossible not to have a smile at one of the little vases of button flowers

  2. I love all the things you made with the buttons. I like buying things that are appealing too because I know someday I will find something cool to do with them. You did a fantastic job!
