I wanted to exhibit a project recently completed for a friend's birthday. It is the continent of Africa in buttons, stretched on wood frames. The notion of button art came direct from T who made a Christmas present for A. A bird for each family member. And, sewed the branches and bird legs to boot.
I was happy to find a way to use this method and it is now on the wall.
The pearlized buttons shimmer like water.
The buttons are from my mum, Sue T, Scout, and a quilt shop in La Mesa, thanks to Susan's directive.
