Buttons 1

I have always loved playing with buttons.  I have enjoyed playing with my Nana's buttons, Mum's buttons, Sister's and Aunties'.  All women you note.  Maybe its a gender thing, who knows, who cares.  I just love sorting them into colours, sizes and styles.  I have been sifting through my collection of buttons this last week, since I completed my art course.

Friends have given me buttons and friends of friends have given me buttons.  I have just collected them, I can't through them away.  Well I can if they are broken, chipped or really grotty.  I am going to look for some ideas now, on what to do with my buttons.  I fancy putting some on bags, and some in frames.  I may add some to collages.  Even plain boring buttons can look attractive, depending on the setting.  I'll let you know.
