Bonkers for Buttons...


I'll let the photographs tell the story...
These are the size of half dollars and larger...




They need to be cleaned...
That will wait for another day~


Because I'm finishing up on LOADS of
new sketches for my Etsy shop!

I'll post a few later today~

Hope you have a fantastic week!

    Wow Michelle! I am so thrilled to see how many other people have come to love your work!! What a blessing for you!! You are such a joy!!

    I've got a touch of woozy looking at your wonderful buttons!! I have a thing for vintage buttons...BIG TIME!! I got some as a little gift when I met some fellow bloggers over the weekend! What a grand time we had!!

    Can't wait to see more of your drawings!! They just fill me with delight! I would purchase them all if I could! I haven't had but a few minutes to ponder what I might do with mine...I'll let you know as I decide!
    Have a joyful week, my friend!!
    HUGS,

    Fabulous buttons!!! And to respond to your post on my blog...are you going to be featured on that new "hoarders" show? ;-) You're cute!

    I'd love to have a baby robin sketch!
    Please make sure you sell it to me! I will frame it! Actually, Michelle, I have some 5x7 little blackboards that it would look beautiful on - just like the way you photograph yours! So if he would be little enough to fit inside and still show a little of the blackboard, that would be terrific! At your leisure!

    Robins have always been my favorite bird, from the time I was little, they were my favorites to draw too.

    Hugs!

    Those button pictures are very beautiful. I once made a sepia ink drawing on A5 full with buttons.

    Ack! Love the buttons so much! When I lived back East I spent many a flea market visit combing the booths for old buttons. Those carved mother-of-pearl were always my favorite. I still have a couple of jars of them left over from those days.
