- Worth noticing
- Some buttons use blackout poetry: magazine text is crossed out until a poem remains.
Field notes
The described process starts with searching old magazines, then cutting and pairing an image with a phrase before pressing the button. Another format uses blackout poetry, leaving selected words visible from magazine text. The site lists bundles at $6 for two or $9 for three, plus $1.50 flat shipping in a stamped envelope with no tracking. It also says in-person details are still forthcoming.
