More button inspiration

I promised to make a follow up to the botton/bowl post the other day. So here are some pictures of buttons that I find inspiring, and a couple of the results from my playing with them.



The button-thing goes back to the sixties when my grandparents had a shop, where they made dresses. I loved to visit them in the shop, to look at all the fabrics and play with the buttons that were kept in a large box. I made rows and pattterns on the floor with them. When my grandmother died in the early 70´s, I inherited another box with buttons and I still have a lot of them.



So look out for fleemarkets,old ladies sewing baskets and old clothes, and the world will never be the same again..

Button or bowl?

Some people might think that this is just a button that someone left on a table. Some of them might even think, that its a pretty button too. They don´t know much about minis do they?



I bought a couple of oranges on the marked. Now it is clear for all to see, that it is really an old and very exquisite fruitbowl, isn´t it...
