One of the authors of this funny project, an American named Joanna (Jo), says that she loves all these bright, beautiful, cute, big and small buttons, and if she could eat them, she would certainly do it. But alas, buttons are not food, so the girl just has to admire them. But she, however, went the other way. If these little pretty things cannot be eaten, they can turn out to be incredibly interesting!
So Joanna teamed up with her friend Angie, who is also a fan of buttons, and together they built a huge mosaic-installation of more than four thousand different and multi-colored buttons. To be precise, the girls spent 4,260 buttons and one more to create the mosaic.
Someone will probably think that such crafts are not uncommon, but someone has probably done this more than once at home, composing patterns from buttons on bags, jeans and jackets. However, in our case, the idea is worthy of respect, and perseverance and patience are admirable. And, of course, you need to have talent and artistic taste to sort the multi-colored buttons so that it looks beautiful, and not lurid ripples. And first - to collect so many buttons that it is also not an easy task.
In general, I hope that you liked this project, and if not, then at least inspired you to your own exploits using buttons. By the way, Joanna has her own website called Buttoncandy, and there you can find a lot of interesting button ideas.

For 13 years, he collected children's toys into a huge pile, which he later turned into an equally large-scale installation Central Ka
