I suppose I can pick up the buttons I need tomorrow between dance classes because Joanns is right there. I also picked up a great book and book/magazine. One is by one of my favorite companies and is called Somerset Life. Another one of the things that happens when I want to get creative and can't is because I need direction. I really do, and Somerset Life has the actual directions to do things which is nice. The other book is called Blogging For Bliss and highlights how to have a blog that captures your creative self. The best part is it shows a whole bunch of artists and crafter's blogs and I love looking and reading them!!Anyway, I have something on Photoshop I am about to try, so I bid you adieu.
Oh sweet, that looks like a great project. I can't wait to see your finished product! Mom was selling fabric last year? I must not have been in that mode then, great job ganking it!
ReplyDeleteGive yourself a big pat on the back!!! These turned out great. A very clever idea. Having been laid off for over a year now, my budget is basically "0", so I pretty much work with what I have (or what I can buy REAL cheap). It builds character (haha) -- that's what I've been told. I DO know that it builds creativity. Now, think about what would happen if you "enlarged" on this idea. Instead of a a button, what if you used a plate and covered it with extra scraps of paper using mod podge or watered down white glue? No extra plate around? How about a paper plate OR what would happen if you cut a round circle from cardboard? Could you make it look like a plate? See -- YOU DO have the ability to make beautiful and unique items from where you are starting RIGHT NOW! Great post!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually done them yet, because I have to go get the buttons, but this was the photo on the tutorial. I'm excited to try them, and am getting the buttons this evening. Thank you for the fantastic ideas. I guess I always think I have to have the perfect thing right then. And thank you for the words of encouragement, it means a lot and is helping to get my head in the right place!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it will be a fun project, Kira! They are so cute! Thanks so much for stopping by and following my blog...I am a new follower, too!
