I am going to make each Wednesday a BUTTON DAY on my blog. I will write about a button or a button-related item / event and will show some great pics. It would be great if you could do the same. Have you seen a lovely, beautiful, stunning, crazy button or button-related thingy, or did you make something with a button / buttons, or did you even make buttons yourself, blog about it on your blog on Wednesday, and give the link here via Mister Linky at the end of this post.
This Wednesday Button Day is dedicated to the Button Colour Series from Multistorey. Multistorey is a London-based studio specialising in art direction and graphic design. It was set up in 1997, the year after Drakeford and Woodrow graduated from Saint Martins. Their motto is "It's about ideas first and then how to do it after that".
Button Colour Series is a collection of wall hangings. Each piece comprises of hundreds of buttons hand sewn onto a variety of backing materials to form shapes. The mixture of antique, decorative and simple buttons are brought together within colour groups which are then blended into each other. The blend is an organic process, with the colour pallete being the only predetermined factor. The piece evolves as the buttons are individually selected to be sewn on—meaning each piece is entirely individual.
Needless to say that I love these wall hangings !!!!

This Wednesday Button Day is dedicated to a Teddy Bear. Surfing on the net, I found this huge teddy bear completely stitched with buttons from Cynthia Korzekwa at Art of Housewives. This teddy is true button art ! Have a look at Cynthia's blog and page, she is a very creative and versatile woman, making all kinds of art. I love looking through her work.

I am going to make each Thursday a BUTTON DAY on my blog. I will write about a button or a button-related item / event and will show some great pics. It would be great if you could do the same. Have you seen a lovely, beautiful, stunning, crazy button or button-related thingy, blog about it on your blog on Thursday, and give the link here (via Mister Linky at the bottom of this blog).
My Thursday button is my series of Victorian button bracelets, also to be used as necklaces. I started to make these as a not so broad alternative for my button cuffs. Thinking of the closure I thought it had to be something tender, not so bold as with the cuffs. Then I came up with this idea of weaving a velvet ribbon through the openings between the buttons, and tie it in a bow. So, the Victorian button bracelet / choker was born.
I make them also from very small buttons, and with lace ribbon, which makes it even more delicate and "Victorian". For sale in my etsy shop P8 Button Art & Accessories
!!!!!!!!!! Because of widespread demand The Button Thursday will be shifted to Button Wednesday from next week !!!!!!!!!!!!!
