To celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee taking place in
the UK this weekend, I am sharing my favorite British things and today it’s all
about design.
One of my favorite British artists is Anne Carrington, a
sculptor that uses large amounts of common objects like buttons, flags, bottle
tops, nuts, bolts, scraps of vintage fabric, and creates masterpieces out of
them. I love her Pearly Queen made of pearl and shell buttons commissioned in
celebration of the Queen’s diamond jubilee, a piece used by The Novogratz @ Sixx
Design in their home and design projects.

I also adore Anne Carrington’s “Crown Jewels” made of
pearl buttons on canvas.

Anne has made a 9 ft velvet banner sewn with half a
million gold buttons to decorate the stern of the Royal Barge, Spirit of
Chartwell. It will be at the front of the Diamond Jubilee pageant running along
the River Thames on June 3rd.
