Description

that you can do a lot more than sewing with buttons, shows this work. I made this artwork about two years ago, for a shop that sells everything for sewing and handycraft. I used an old fashioned “gobelin” pattern to start from, and “painted” with buttons. It took me two months to finish each of them, as they are rather big, 120 cmm.

Material Notes

Buttons (a lot!) special glue, MDF
