Amazing - did you lay these out before you started and remove them to sew or did you sew them one at a time by adding them back to the mat?

None the less, what a project.

It looks great Audra! Of course you know that, which should be very satisfying. The first thing that I think of for something new would be a large button shaped mosaic (what do you call them?). Maybe a super-simple, round, two-hole shaped image made of the same, in white. Or a simple shape with fancy buttons of one color. Or one with a different color outlining it. Or four holes. It seems to me that it would be a very classy, modern image: the simple, yet important, button illustrated by its own manifestation. With the many buttons displaying beautiful, delightful, variations as the usual kicker possibility.

Also, I don't think the bluebird would be silly. And if you do get close to being a twisty tied last supper lady, I think it would be ok. It would only be because you will have immersed yourself in your craft. I think that's a good thing. Explore it!

Also, I know of someone who meets with a button club in Akron. I wonder if there's a such thing where you're at, or if that would appeal to you.

Addy, I LOVE the idea of a giant white button. If I put the smaller buttons in the middle and medium/larger buttons around the edge it would give the illusion of a rim. Thanks for the feedback on the bluebird, but I think I have to put that idea on hold for awhile. I have a lot of blue buttons, but it wasn't until I dumped them all out and started sorting through that I realized that they might be a little too diverse in shade/tone for a smaller piece.

Addy

Yes! The bigger ones around the edge would be an excellent way to create a rim! I look forward to seeing it.
