At Grandma’s

hello
For this still life composition I carefully selected buttons in shades of neutral brown so they wouldn’t compete for attention with the bright orange scissors. I lay the scissors half open on the desk and dropped the buttons next to them to create a casual arrangement, as if Grandma had just gotten up from sewing. I spent some time rearranging the buttons so that both their numbers and placement complimented the scissors. The challenge, here, was to create an asymmetrical, yet balanced composition.
