Just popping in to share a picture of the buttons that arrived back in April for the swap. I'm partnered with a wonderful gal, Billi R.S. Rothove, her blog is called Artist at Work. An artist Billi certainly is, she works with many mediums including polymer clay and paper batik. The buttons she sent were the very colorful, in a style I would call 'caned' though I'm not sure if that is the right term. What I love about swaps is they usually push you out of your comfort zone, I did manage to find a way to blend my vintage style of altered art with these beauties. I will leave it up to y'all to tell me if I pulled it off....on Sunday.
