Tag 6 of the 52 tags challenge was entitled a bevy of buttons and the simple challenge was to add buttons to the next tag. This involved heading to the button jar and having some fun looking through the assorted collection. The bear button looks well loved as it had many trips through the washing machine on one of the dressing gowns I sewed for my children when they were much younger.

I also had some fun with my Derwent Inktense pencils and blocks to create the background. Fabric medium is used with the pencils or blocks to fix the colour to the fabric and I think that I could dilute it more. The fabric was calico and once it had dried it was very firm and felt more like canvas. 

Do you have a button jar or collection? Where have the buttons come from?

My collection is an assortment of inherited buttons, those that have come off clothing before the cloth becomes rags and new buttons. There are so many beautiful buttons out there begging to join the collection.
