But today this image popped up on a site. I was first drawn in by the striped borders with the buttons irregularly placed and the more I studied it the more I was fascinated. I will never look at buttons the same again.. This work was done by internationally recognized artist, Nancy Smeltzer but I had never seen her work.
I have to admit to being a button snob and never give kitschy plastic buttons a second look but just look at them here.
I had to immediately google her work and here are some more images... Enjoy as I'm off to dig through my boxes of buttons..

Those are gorgeous. I'll have to take some time and study them more closely
what amazing crazyness you have found, I do go on pinterest sometimes but there is so much to see and so little spare time to look! You are a no reply blogger to my blog so could not email you, thanks for visiting wish you would leave you email address if you come again.
They ARE gorgeous pieces! Amazing use of buttons.
What amazing pieces! I have an embarrassingly large collection of buttons and I should try to do something similar with at least a few of them.
And the background looks like it is almost all beaded!! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thanks for sharing.
