Boo and I finished her Cinderella button collage this weekend! I made a time lapse process video filled with our tips and tricks and where to buy buttons:

(here’s the direct video link if you have trouble viewing)

Here’s the finished piece:

Now we’ve got three…..I have a few others in mind right now for the next installment.

Here are some closeups of the collage so you can see some of the cool little buttons we used: (click continue to read more….)

Starting a Project…..of 2,000 Buttons

February 15, 2012 By Ashley Hackshaw 32 Comments

So here’s a perfect example of how I start a project…..on a whim. I never quite know what I’m going to make each day. It all usually depends on how I feel, what I run into that morning, something I might see in passing. Today is no exception…..since I have chemo tomorrow and I don’t have a ton of energy today I decided to start a project I can do from the couch. Another piece of button art…..recorded for another process video. I have an entire series of portraits I want to do now!

In case you missed the other two pieces Boo and I have made…..check out the process on time lapse video….you’ll see Boo eating ice cream on the artwork in the Mona Lisa one…..and I have LONG hair!
