Buttons and More Buttons
Here’s the two buttons I got from photographer and button maker Christy Cusick at our Congressional District caucus on May 17. They’re 1 inch buttons, but next to our 1 1/4 inch buttons they still seem tiny. Tiny=really cute! You can check out the other designs she uses at her Obama fundraising page. Here’s a little about her and her buttons:
Hello my name is Christy Cusick with the 1344-36 WA state. I am working on making buttons for the Barack Obama campaign. I have had the opportunity make 3000 buttons that have gone to over 15 states and growing. If you need buttons for events or just want one for yourself to wear please let me know. I am looking for people to help spread the word.
Enjoy a small 1 inch button designed by Bellingham, WA artist Tara Vodopich, Fairfax, CA artist Tenaya Amelia, and Seattle, WA photographer Christy Cusick. Help us get the word out and wear a button for Obama! Send me your address in an e-mail and I will ship your buttons off ASAP! You can also make a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal of $600.00. A standard donation is $10.00 and gets you one dozen buttons.
We’ve got some photos on flickr of the Babies for Obama and Yes WA Can buttons that you see used for size comparison in the photo above. They both made their debuts at the CD caucus. This is our little friend Henry modeling the Babies for Obama button. Again, tiny=really cute! But, moms and dads, make sure your little one is not likely to hurt themselves with a button before putting one on them, please! Henry doesn’t have the coordination yet to grab at it and was supervised very closely. No babies were harmed for this photo.
