A slice in time slowly being consumed by it. The mechanical, tactile controls we gave up for touch screens?

Rusty dash of a very old truck (50’s?) with, near as I can make out from left to right
Upper:
* ashtray slot w/hole for lighter
* radio with 3 “knobs” and a peephole view of current frequency
* no idea, rectangle indented plate with small hole
Below that:
* shaft of knob?
* remnant of knob or switch
* slot for key
* empty hole
* another switch or knob remnant

Under dash:
* maybe a pull knob, for choke or vent

A rusty and leafy view of far left/bottom of dash and foot pedal area. The dash area has three wide oval knobs, the kinds of things your hand can get a good purchase on and pull or push with authority. One could be for releasing hood latch but that seems like the age when you just reached under front of hood, felt around then pulled up on hidden latch. They could be for headlights, maybe a choke, perhaps something fancy like timing advance. Any other likely candidates?
Below that, on what’s left of the floorboard, there are two round rubber pedals with concentric “grip” circle texture. Most like clutch on left and brake on right. The gas pedal is missing but we can just make out a hole in the firewall with a cable coming through.

Closeup of the odometer, where a speedometer cable snaking its way up from transmission area to hook to gears that rotate a dial to indicate speed using a dial coming out of the empty hole in the middle and below that it would drive other gears to slowly tick over a series of numbered wheels to track total miles. This may be showing 12193x for mileage, or depending on angle it could be 23204x (‘x’ means I can’t read that dial).

Spent yesterday organising my buttons. It was actually pretty restful and satisfying.

Everything lives in a bag all together but I wanted to make sure sets were kept together. I first sorted by colour & then used safety pins to collect sets together for easy use when I need them

(It’s v pretty)

Before:
6 trays of buttons roughly grouped in to colours - reds, yellow/orange, purple/pink, greens, blues, neutrals

Buttons are scattered everywhere, only a few joined together with safety pins. Many many more are loose.

After:
6 trays of buttons roughly grouped in to colours - reds, yellow/orange, purple/pink, greens, blues, neutrals

Buttons are scattered in the trays but much more sorted. Many are joined together with safety pins and far fewer are loose and scattered.

Looking through my buttons today.

It turns out I have a pretty selection of green glass buttons — I especially love the pear & heart!

Alte langweilige Stoffknöpfe werden süße Wassermelonen

...Kiwis und Pizzas stehen noch in der Pipeline.

Poor Things ist momentan mein Wohlfühlfilm

Als Wassermelonen bemalte Stoffknöpfe auf einem Haufen. Knöpfe sind handbemalt und deswegen nicht perfekt ;)

Man sieht einen aufgeklappten Laptop auf dem "Poor Things" geschaut wird. Davor liegt ein Schreibblock, auf dem Knöpfe und Stofffarben liegen. Ein paar Knöpfe sind bemalt. Auf der linken Seite steht eine Schreibtischlampe, die auf den Block leuchtet.

I was looking through my brown buttons…
Sharing these extra interesting ones with you.
The large ones probably came from coats.
Plus those odd-shaped ones on the left – in two sizes!
