button, button, who's got the button?

Another great swap hosted by Strawberry at Art42 - chunky page with button theme. Here's mine

I covered the board pages with paint dabber, sprayed it with water and swirled the pant to blend the colors. Then scraped colored gesso over a circle stencil (Thanks Dyan Reavely for this fabulous idea :-). I set grommets in three places and "sewed" the buttons in place with wax thread

Each one is anchored on the back with another button, which gives a little visual interest on the back too. The quotes I grabbed from online, put them in stamp fonts from dafont, and printed them out. Aged them a big with distressed inks.  Thanks for hosting Strawberry! Always a pleasure.
