My grandma has a very large tin and several old ball jars full of old buttons. She promised to leave them to me. This image brings back so many memories when I would play with them as a little girl. I can even remember the old smell as I would open the lid. I even recognize several in this image. What a fantastic treasure!
This image has great texture and colors. I imagine the lighting was a bit tricky with all those reflective white buttons.
I have been looking for a collection like that to shoot. Try arranging it. You will have fun and might come up with something that pops out a little more than simple piled up chaos.
