The appeal of your art will vary depending on colors, styles and materials. They also be memory pieces, using buttons from special occasions and from clothing of family members attire.
Some quilters/fabric artists use many buttons of various colors and types so these nearly cover the piece. Others use buttons simply to enhance their design or emphasize specific portions.
How have you used buttons in your art work?
