I don't know, I experiment A LOT with Hipstamatic, trying all the different combos of lenses, films and flashes.<br /><br />Leslie - Yep, nothing soothes my busy mind more than button (and non-button) sorting.<br /><br />My Hideaway - Ooh fabric scraps! I have those too :) I do have mild OCD, that's a big part of the allure of these sorting tasks :)<br /><br />Junkculture - YAY!! Delighted to hear that, thanks so much for the idea!<br /><br />andrea creates - I only sort them by hole number when I have too many of one color. But it's also tremendously helpful when I'm using the buttons in production and I need to quickly find a certain kind.<br /><br />PoetessWug - Thanks! Cheers to button nuts :)<br /><br />mimi - Thanks! They are mostly little glass tiles, and 2 ceramic ones!Liz Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082326421765682661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-47803486634867007492011-05-02T18:08:39.914-04:002011-05-02T18:08:39.914-04:00Love the photos, but what are those in the last pi...Love the photos, but what are those in the last picture?mimi khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658909469026112809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-82293926665930247772011-05-02T17:19:59.308-04:002011-05-02T17:19:59.308-04:00I'm a button nutt too! :-) I like all the colo...I'm a button nutt too! :-) I like all the colors of your "Not" buttons too! :-)PoetessWughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269054577952128702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-31581983311229155772011-05-02T17:14:55.252-04:002011-05-02T17:14:55.252-04:00these are great! i sort mine by color, but not amo...these are great! i sort mine by color, but not amount of holes,lol ;)<br />that may be my next step.<br />there are a few flickr button groups i belong to-can't get enough buttons :)andrea createshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121033486362358917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-45914182491397268472011-05-02T16:55:45.024-04:002011-05-02T16:55:45.024-04:00Fabulous!

You should add these pics to that collections group on Flickr, I forget the official name, but these would be perfect.<br />I understand the meditative aspect.
