Buttons as Design Items
This image has been created using old buttons the size and design rarely seen any more except on expensive designer clothes. These buttons come from a time when the button had a functional as well as decorate role. Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century. Many of the buttons used in this image are bakelite. Bakelite was the first completely synthetic plastic invented in 1904 by Leo Baekeland, and was used for making buttons from the 1920s.

A clever and simple activity
Two little girls Ally and Georgia painted small rocks and hid them on my street. Then sent out an email to neighbours “You have been invited to do something you've never done before. We have hidden rocks around the street for you to find. The symbol on the rock is a special symbol”. This was fun for neighbours who had been working from home. It was a chance to walk outside with a new purpose. Little ideas like this that connect community are very special and require creative thinking not lots of other resources to be effective.
