This Memory Mirror was created for the
Centennial Celebration
of the MFHA. Items were donated by a variety of foxhunters across North
America and by the artist. This piece will be on the 2007 Art Tour
coordinated by the MFHA and
Cross Gate Gallery. It measures 24" x 47" x 5"
and weights about 45 pounds.
Below is an alphabetical listing of all of the buttons kindly donated by
various members and friends of the MFHA for permanent use on this Centennial
Artwork.
It has been fascinating collecting these buttons, they are all beautiful and
a glory to see, and it is so interesting to read about the history of the
buttons that have been sent. Some buttons are off your own coats, some have
been snipped off of a spouses coat, while many are from the coats of famous
foxhunters. Some buttons come bright and shiny new, ready for adventure; one
donor proudly gave her newly earned and yet-to-be-worn buttons, while others
donated buttons that are aged, and have a patina about them that begs to
tell of their illustrious history in the hunt field.
On this Centennial Artwork there are 181 individual hunt coat buttons, from 155 recognised and registered hunts in the MFHA in 2007, including Lt. Col Fosters' special MFHA hunt coat button, and one button from the Middleburg Orange County
Beagles, that was kindly donated to be part of the fun. This is possibly one of the largest current public collections of MFHA hunt coat buttons in existence.
I can not take credit for all of this
without mentioning the work of Carla Hawkinson, MFH of
Tennessee Valley Hunt, who
so kindly sponsored me on their website and generated the "Button Hunt" from
among her friends and acquaintances, without her, this collection simply would
not exist. Carla, dba "Fluffy" made it happen.
I also want to thank my hunt, the
Mission Valley Hunt, for underwriting work on this piece, without them, the
button collection would not be as extensive. MVH also was kind enough to
underwrite the hunt whip and thong that was so generously priced from that
wonderful establishment,
Horse Country. A huge
thank you to Marion and Wendy at Horse Country for their help, advice, patience
and generosity.
If you are interested in
commissioning a Memory Mirror please contact the artist. This website should be
finished soon, please check back soon for more information and to view other
Memory Mirrors and much more.
