“Button art” doesn’t come close to describing Carol Newell’s work.
Carol, proprietor of Button Art By Carol, reminds me a lot more of a mosaic artist.
Using beads, buttons and wood backgrounds, she can create just about anything–and she takes custom orders.
Seasonally, she has a harvest pumpkin design, and several Christmas ones. Year-round, though, her rainbow rooster is eye-catching, and she’s created sea creatures, butterflies, birds…
Carol talked about the origins of her small business, Button Art By Carol. She also talked about her creative process–and even shared the link to her YouTube channel, where she offers a tutorial on making one of her most popular pieces.
