The series of button craft tutorials in response to its members’ increased interest in using their uncollectible buttons in artistic ways. This series of button crafts and the other button craft ideas on the NBS website support its mission to preserve all that is beautiful and historic in buttons. You can see more about what membership offers you online at NationalButtonSociety.org. For more, including craft worksheets, go to  “Resources” at NationalButtonSociety.org.
Haiku for Button Lovers
Poetry Book
Picture
I LOVE BUTTONS!
For me, buttons are miniature works of art. Examining their designs, colors and materials gives me great pleasure.
Haiku for Button Lovers is full of “insider information” -- the details about buttons. The more you know about buttons, the more you will enjoy the poetry. It's short and sweet and is written with a clever turn of phrase.

The 76 Haiku poems are under these categories:
  • About Buttons, Ceramic, Fabric, Glass, Metal, Plastic, 
    Rubber, Shell, Vegetable Ivory/Ivory, Wood
The last  is a longer poem, which describes the physical feelings a button collector experiences when getting a new jar of buttons.

I hope reading my Haiku for Button Lovers will delight button collectors and intrigue others to learn more about buttons and button collecting.

"Haiku for Button Lovers" can be found in Kindle form on Amazon: www.amazon.com/-/e/B07GDNQJF5  You can also read it on your smartphone, tablet or computer by using one of the apps Amazon offers.
