You did an excellent job of fitting the words of the sentence on your tray.
You had a nice variety of materials, and kept your use of realistics very
low.
You did not have a mechanical button and did not call attention to a backmark
on any of the buttons. Both of those would have raised your point count.
Your celluloid cat button is particularly nice.

Measled - The button in the bottom row labeled Escutcheon is measled because
"an escutcheon on a button does not represent an escutcheon as a noun;
it is merely one part of the button." You did a very good job of labeling
your materials
and buttons you wanted to be sure we were aware of -
Thread back, Backmark. You have some lovely buttons particularly the lithograph
Egyptian and the steel cup with the dogs.

Measled - The snap together labeled Cincher is measled because we could not
find this word in any of the dictionaries we consulted.
Love the lithograph in the wallpaper border, the jade doorknocker
and the blue heart shaped pastes.

Measled - In the second row, the button labeled Tender is measled.
"If you think of the coin as a true coin, then it represents the
topic--a penny is a type of tender-- but if you make a true coin into a button,
the surface side showing becomes the subject. You might show a head which
would
be useable on a head's tray. The entire coin is not the subject, but rather,
only the design imprinted on its surface. Each side of a coin has a different
pictorial nature.
The coin itself basically becomes equivalent to the "material" from
which the button is made."
Your Nosegay button with the garnet border is especially lovely.
