Button Art

I have seen more and more of this pop up, with buttons and/or jewelry. Here is an example using just buttons. What do you think of the idea?

It’s interesting to look at, but I wouldn’t buy it for our home. Of course, that depends on the object in the picture.

Very pretty! Colors are amazing and the detail is nice.

I have a plaque that has nails affixed to it, arranged to create the illusion of flowers (the nail heads are enamelled). My Mom picked it up at a craft fair many years ago.

I just looked at the back of it and the creator says it has "over 280" nails. It's really quite pretty.

I can't imagine how many hours . . .

It's a pretty rooster and a creative use of buttons... Would I want it? No. Would I spend my time doing it? No.

Very well done clever use of buttons. Quite a conversation piece in a kitchen or family room. I can only imagine how hard it would be to collect all if those buttons (unless they come in a kit).

I can see me doing this. Do I want them all over my home, no.. But in a small vignette of some kind would be ok.. I do like to make things and I am guilty of having no where to put them when I finished.

I like it, but not enough to hang it in my house.

Thank you ! That peacock button art is lovely and I like the different shades of blue throughout, that is what makes it so creative! I would find a place for it in my house!!!!

@lolakimono. I love those blues and greens although I have a personal aversion to peacocks.

My mother-in-law used to make pictures like this using pieces of discarded/broken tacky jewelry with crystals, beads, etc. and I have no positive comment!

This kind of reminds me of different ideas on Pinterest. I can spend endless hours looking at so many things. What a treasure trove this site is. I love Early American arts and crafts, and I am planning to start wool appliqué this winter. If I lived to be 110, mind, eyes, and hands intact, I could stay busy. DId I say I love this site???
