Challenge met!

Sparkly candy card stock

Many layers of embossing powder

Washi tape, pink on front, blue on back

The back, unfinished

Fabric cut from upholstery book

Back, bow looks old fashioned, I like it

This was a fun project!

Giant wooden buttons?! Yes, please!

I picked up some unfinished giant wooden buttons from Michael’s (they’re about 2-1/2” across), and challenged myself to finish each one a different way.

The first one is made from sparkly candy-printed card stock (no, they’re not pills), the second is made using a variety of embossing powders, the third is made by layering Washi tape (the blue side is shown unfinished, I forgot to take a photo of it when I was done), and the last one was created using fabric from an old upholstery book.

The pink and green bows are made of vintage seam binding we found at a thrift shop. I love that old stuff. This was such a fun project! More details on my blog: More details on my blog.

GIANT BUTTONS!!!!!

“

There are a number of disturbing aspects to this entire situation. The first reaction is one of repugnance and disgust for anyone who thinks it is appropriate or funny to threaten sexual violence. That is a behavior that should be so far beyond the pale that any individual should clearly know better.

But the very existence of this Facebook page and the way it encourages people to make anonymous postings about other people is just as troubling. It smacks of the old days when some idiots would write the names of girls they knew on the walls of men’s rooms and think that was funny.

The idea of the site may have been benign and a matter of having fun. But as it has turned out, it seems more like a refuge for stalkers.

It’s just as appalling that many of the comments posted on the Boomerang website about this story indicated that it was no big deal or that they didn’t find the comments all that objectionable. Sorry, but we don’t see it that way.

These sorts of posts and these reactions contribute to a culture that accepts sexual violence and abuse.

More to the point: If you think it is OK to threaten a violent sexual act to make a woman confirm to a man’s beliefs — as the post on UW Crushes’ site did — it can be viewed no less than the acceptance of a culture that encourages misogyny and violence toward women. Some have said the woman deserved it for her outspoken views. That smacks of a rape culture in which the victim is blamed for the rape (she was raped because of what she wore or how she danced or her past — “she deserved it.”)
