Reflection
While I didn't find the group crit too beneficial in terms of new suggestions or inspirations from others' projects, it was still good to see everything physical that I have gathered so far in front of me and to share with everyone the fun I've had exploring the world of buttons so far. My tutor and I both agree that exploring the benefits of buttons further would make an interesting picture book with some interesting visuals - so my next steps are to continue researching into people's experiences until I feel satisfied there is enough content for a picture book. I may want to explore media and materials research over Christmas alongside further research.
