GRANDCHILDREN'S TAKE ON BUTTON DECORATED FRAMES

 

I was lucky to be able to spend some time during these summer holidays with my lovely grandchildren crafting, they made a great job of gluing the buttons to frames then covering with gesso I had provided black and white gesso for them to choose which one they preferred.

They used Inka Gold to highlight raised areas.  There were plenty of buttons left over and my grandson covered another frame later that day, leaving the buttons unpainted as he liked and wanted to see the various colours.

You can see a few charms embedded between the buttons, just to add a bit of interest.  I think they enjoyed making these as the day before we had used eggshells to decorate a frame. Until next time....
