Button Book - part 2

The embroidery on the top two pages were for TAST challenge. [blogged here]

I made the buttons above out of card and paper using a piece of the same artwork as the background.

I used purchased buttons on the page below and the background is painted and collaged with a painted doily. I used running stitch to join these pages together.

If you have been following my blog for quite a while you may have seen these two pages before.  They used to be rectangular but I cut them round to include in the book. They were featured in a Cloth, paper, scissors magazine [2012]

I used tiny bought buttons on the fishy paper applique.

The page below was created from an inkjet print of some of the fabric designs I did for a cheater quilt and I made the coordinating buttons to go with it.

More Art Buttons

I've been making more art buttons, probably for a new book I'm making.

For the blue buttons above I used clear buttons and art work.

I used some big buttons for these two, unfortunately I didn't read the words on the bit of book page before I used it, it'll have to be on a sad page.

These were some of the patterns I used for a fabric design. Clear buttons and inkjet print.

More clear buttons and art work.
