“I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm thinking that it might be time to blow the cobwebs off my "Badge Factory" so that I can try my hand at a homage to these button/rosette hybrids by artist Tauba Auerbach. I'm also thinking that I need to come up with a less embarrassingly tween name than "Badge Factory"...perhaps a pseudonym is in order... "I'm going to be spending the afternoon with some geometric paper, ribbon, and Emerson..." Ah yes, much better.
