But like stitching, button painting was at a complete halt for months except for one special project... a commission by a grandmother for two buttons of a cat co-owned by two sisters.
The cat was named Hex and I found his eyes mesmerizing. I happen to have two large MOP buttons that had very unique coloration which seems perfect for Hex. I did not paint the background...I just used the natural color of the mother of pearl.
There was another granddaughter who had a pet lizard and I was asked it I could paint a lizard. I hadn't heard anything for some time so I thought my chance to paint a lizard wasn't going to happen but today I received some photos of and am eager to start.The elongated body does not lend itself to a round button so it will probably be a head pose. Meet "Bask!"

Its good to see you back. I've missed you but I guessed you were just busy with your garden. I love your idea for journal covers - the elastic is great. I've been busy canning most of the summer - still have some mustards to make and another batch of beet pickles and then I can put the canners away. A friend dropped off part of a huge pumpkin and I have 2 small ones that I am going to dehydrate so I need to get that done too. I am looking forward to getting back to my sewing machine and stitching.
I bet you'll do Bask proud! My grandson had a Bearded Dragon. He built a cage from him that was the size of a screen door, which was the top. He really wasn't much of a pet, but he WAS interesting to watch.
xx, Carol
