Left over from last week's flower spree, here's a button I've been studying with scientific scrutiny. It's a Bakelite apple juice button with the backside carved into two stemmed flowers, each of which has been painted. Springing up in a haze through the yellow Bakelite, the flowers appear as if locked in a foggy dream—giving this button an antiquated mystique. Call me crackers, but I'm in such awe of this button that I set it on an easel to examine and admire. From the 1930's.
