I spent a good amount of this morning creating mini wearable collages. I have had a button making machine for a few years now and have used it to make several types of buttons. (often featuring my own illustrations.) For this lot of buttons I used found papers, vintage illustrations, vintage texts and magazine clippings. I tried to put together images, words and patterns that spoke to me. I think the chicken buttons are my favorite. I'm really into chickens in general right now! Probably because I consider myself a bit of an urban farmer (but only grow vegetables at the moment) and chickens would be awesome to have!

I printed out some of the tags that I had created as a free download for this blog! If you still need a few tags or have some wrapping paper that matches, visit my post from yesterday to get yours!

{Completed Tags, 2010}

I used some ribbon and crafty scissors to cut my tags out for a little extra flair! They actually print out more colorfully than shown in the pictures. My husband has been in Israel with work so I let him take the Nikon and have his Fuji. I'm glad he took the Nikon, but I will be happy to have it back soon!

My Etsy shop has been updated! I plan to have a few more goodies later this week, so please check back! There are a variety of new pin back buttons and a new banner for the fall. If you have a little one that has headed back to school, many of the buttons would look adorable on a backpack, lunchbox or lunch note!
