I did show on 6th August an 8" canvas I covered with buttons, this sat on my craft room window sill. I then had a brain wave and decided to decorate the back of the canvas as well, using a Mucha image for the inset, it is now double sided and I get a choice of which side to view and the neighbours get to see the other.
I painted all the buttons and background with black gesso (though you could use black paint). Highlighted with Lummiere Halo Gold, Luna Light teal, and Treasure Gold Aquamarine and White Fire.

Gorgeous way to use buttons. Don't they add wonderful dimension and texture. Fantastic colours . Tracy x
