Amazing artwork made from buttons!

Post by flosaxby »

Hi Everyone,

I thought I'd share this lady's work. She uses objects she finds - buttons, lego, beads, etc. - to re-create some famous paintings!

I think Mabel will like the first one in particular.

It's pretty amazing stuff!

I just spent the last half hour looking at all of the objects. Amazing how many different items she has found to stick on there. So cool. She should do an "I Spy" book or something lol.

It does I look like an I spy game. I just don't know where people get their ideas. I thought I am somewhat creative, but nowhere near thinking like this lady. :o :shock: :roll:

Very clever, and the use of all the tiny bits... I even found a "pass the pigs" pig! Use of colour and shape makes you forget you are looking at bits of shell, macaroni and all those buttons. :tizzy:
