Noel Fielding's collection of accessories // part one - badges

basically Noel Fielding has such a cool/eclectic style that I decided to try and find a bunch of the badges Noel/Vince Noir has worn over the past few decades, either to buy or recreate and make into buttons for my own collection, and this is the outcome of said research 🫡

A rambling update on the buttons.

First off. I realized that I had the amount of buttons that no one could possibly go through in their lifetime. I did the most obvious thing. I asked the people helping me sort if they'd like to fill a snack bag with buttons(with the caveat that I could say no because some of these I won't share). When I say they were thrilled, I mean it took 2 whole hours for them to decide. Sorting buttons,

"Oh, is this one okay?" "Can you pass me all the ones that look like these?"

It was lovely. The buttons belong there.

Back to the ones I'm keeping!

I love the concept of the binder of buttons with pages of sewing on buttons. I have encountered a, predictable in hindsight, problem.

So you pick a spot.

You put the button down and poke two holes with the sheet on cardboard(so you don't poke tiny holes in your nice table).

Then you sew the button on and tie the back.

This takes a minimum of two stations. The poking a hole station(on cardboard) and the sewing station. Because the buttons are different sizes; it's not feasible to punch many holes at a time. I might be able to take a picture of all the buttons set up, but it's been frustrating to set up that way so far.

So that's problem one, but that's when problem two occurred to me.

If I have pounds of buttons, then I'll have pounds of button binders.

So I'm thinking I do a different approach.

I may sort of braid the buttons onto strands or otherwise tie them together and keep those in sorted boxes. With a representative button on a cardstock page. Then the button can have a box letter and a button number.

It would be a fraction of the work and more logically sound.

I have had help sorting them. I have done things fully sorted into baggies and about 2/5 still left to sort. So I'll start with the most sorted of the buttons.

There are a lot of buttons that came off of button up shirts. I know because the bag had a note in a cassette about a specific shirt. And these look very similar.

I strung these on a long piece of spare floss.

And here is where I remembered that I wanted to put a single button on a page to mark what I had. I'm not taking these apart, but that's a solid whoops.

Into the box they go.

The box is from a box of small boxes I've kept and reused for various small box things. They originally had fossils in them. Then beads. Then knick knacks. Now buttons. I've reused the packing material carefully so it's still in nice condition. In case I ever need to ship my buttons I guess? I don't know, but having them safely packed is nice.

Moving on!

Right? Very nice and easy to use.

It's in box A and counting the button on the sheet, I have 5 buttons. Bare minimum, I'm doing this with the plainer buttons. I'm positive this is it. It does mean I'll need a binder and boxes, but this is more feasible.

I realized after doing a couple like this that I could stack the buttons and tie a bow on top with the floss I'd sent through the holes. This saved even more time.

Rinse and repeat

And there are now 12 buttons stored conveniently and labeled with box location plus total amount of buttons.

I hit the picture limit. I'll need to elaborate more later for that and so I can sleep.

As I find buttons that have no match, I'll be putting that into my button jar. I have found some matches already between the button bow and the button jar! This is extra exciting because some have been without a match a minimum of a decade in my hands.

I hope to be back at it today(I say at 5am). Yesterday had been mostly gardening related. +96 seedlings gently stuck into 96 cells. That just about caught me up on gardening for the next day or two! I should be clear to, hopefully, finish 12 more button types onto the paper

mother and daughter: two little tigers. you might’ve assumed the larger of the two to be the parent, but you’d be wrong. despite all her mother’s faults—or maybe because of them?—the daughter has grown more than anyone ever expected. she’s still growing, bursting at the seams. broke three blouses already; this is how they got to be in my collection.

Just realized that I never posted the bird earrings i made the other day

Sorry for the awful picture quality, it probably will not get better if you click on it

I have really shakey hands

The ideas that you can mix and match them that’s why none of them have treats that specifically a link to them to a different earring

My favorite ones are the blue one and the yellow one(you’ll never guess my favorite colors)
