I went a little 'notion happy'...
...buying thread, zippers, velcro, bias tape and the like...
...and brought home lots of patterned silk scarves...
...and silk chiffon and organza for nuno felting.
It was in my 'button acquisitions' however...
...where I really went off the rails. :)
I love to handle (dare I say 'fondle'?) old buttons.
They each seem to want to whisper a story...
...about the garment that they used to be a part of...
...or the thrilling events or quiet moments...
...that they mutely observed.
I like to imagine that when I use them in a project...
...(and make them part of something new)...
...I allow their adventures to continue!
Next time: a felted table runner experiment.
