Okay, so here I am with Nancy Schindler of
RoundRabbit last month at the
Salt City Urban Arts & Crafts Market. She's curly, I'm fat. But enough about us - what
you want to know about is the buttons. I got all worked up a while back because she was making some special earthenware, exclusively Nancy-style large chunky buttons just for me to use ... and she brought them to the show ... drumroll please:
I know, I know. I'm excited too. Plus in the last wave of moving my studio I found the bin with the vintage mens' suits ... some of them match these and as soon as I'm past my holiday push I'll commence to chopping them up and rebuilding them into some vest-jackets and coats featuring these highly coveted buttons.
I swear, each one is lickable. But I have not licked them.
What? what? what? Vintage mens' suits chopped up??? I am getting exxxxtreeemely exited to see it. Yeaaaah Helen, go, go go ( and pretty please some eye catching chartreuse with it??( smile, drool).
ReplyDeleteNo licking the buttons!
ReplyDeleteButton licking... Does that depreciate the buttons value, or make them more expensive?
ReplyDeleteLove the suit jacket idea! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
There is no shame in button licking! Hold your head high and lick like there is no tomorrow! (And then wash the licked buttons in hot, soapy water and don't tell anyone what you just did.)
ReplyDeleteYour mixed message is confusing me Nancy. Do I hide my habit or join the Button Licking Pride Movement? I'm sure there is a flickr group for us ...
ReplyDeletei'd be popping the entire thing into my mouth and sucking on it like a piece of hard candy (but that's just me)...
ReplyDeleteyou are NOT FAT, you are generous and larger than life. how's that? we generous girls have to stick together.
the buttons are fabulous and i am excited to see the jackets!! and i want your dress...
Love the photo, you go girl, stand tall and proud! Button, button, who has the button? I'm looking forward to both the men's suiting designs and where you will put the button.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those buttons are so nice. Thanks for sharing them. I can just picture them with your clothing designs.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOH!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the buttons. Have you used them yet? I've been surveying your clothing and think it's very cool. I've been doing some reconstructing lately. Not anything as rad as yours, though. Check out my designs; I sell in a little shop around the corner and love making things that actually sell.
ReplyDeleteNot yet Sally, but I'm still admiring them and hatching some plots. I just starte sorting through some fabric, with those buttons in mind ... soon!
