Having come with the idea of using threads as hands and feet, I thought I would actually thread the real thing through a drawing of BUT, scan it in and then remove my pencil lines with Photoshop. I also moved the writing to the top of his head away from the "eye" so it was clear. Using cotton threads is in keeping with the sewing aspect of buttons and the fact they were attached or once attached to something.
