Creating BUT the broken button

My first initial idea for this module was to write and illustrate a short story about a broken button who gets rejected from the button tin because of his imperfections and the fact he can't remember where he came from.

Although I had an idea of the character BUT in mind, I used my writing skills to get a story into shape so I had some words to work with. I attempted to break a couple of buttons to work from. This was no easy task and it required some tin snips in the end. But working from my tiny model, I created this character. His limbs will be cotton and his hands and feet will be knots.


The Beefeater button was a proud button who often gave after dinner speeches
 about his tales of guarding the Tower of London, whether invited to do so or not

Finding his other half

rejected from the button tin



He became the butt of jokes
