Polysyllabic button mosaics: Anna Carrington's hobby

It would seem that what is unusual is sewing on a button? An artist from Britain named Anna Carrington proved that this action can be a real art. From ordinary buttons, the craftswoman creates complex mosaics, the beauty of which can be compared with picturesque paintings.

When creating her masterpieces, the craftswoman uses not only buttons, but also other suitable miniature items: pins, buttons, coins. The artist puts a special meaning into each of her actions and each object. According to Anna, even the most banal household items have their own unique history.

Among the creations of Carrington, the "denim" flag of America and the mother-of-pearl "Queens" look especially original, inspired by the artist's London fashion show. But the main work that won the hearts of fans is a canvas decorated with 500 million gold buttons. The artist placed them on red velvet in honor of the British Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Creating pictures from buttons is not an easy hobby. A woman works on one creation for several months. But the luxurious result justifies all the efforts of the artist.
