If you love cottage style and handmade artwork, then you are going to love the work of artist Mary Teeter.
I found some of her buttonwork at The Urban Cottage in Duck, North Carolina while I was on vacation. I love the retro feel and how detailed each piece is. The owner gave me a little insight into the artist:
Mary Teeter is the creative force behind the buttonwork art you see at Urban Cottage. She takes
the lead with designing and sewing the works, while her husband Terry adds his
talents by lovingly creating frames for them from old timber. Son Nathan often
lends a hand as well, sorting the thousands of buttons needed for this artform
by color and style. Their farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania suits their approach to life,
which is both casual and enthusiastic.
There's more on Mary's site Buttonwork, including locations across the county where you can purchase her work.
