I understand these to be the original sketches untouched by any of the various technical animation processes. I would assume that if Gustaf Tenggren was involved it would have been at a later stage.barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-63945119512057261942011-09-26T18:00:43.910+01:002011-09-26T18:00:43.910+01:00Hi, Barbara.

I've always loved buttons, too, and remember spending hours with my grandmom's tin of buttons. <br />I have a question for you. Do you know if any of the illustrations in the Disney Snow White sketch book are by the Swedish-American artist Gustaf Tenggren? I'm about to review a new collection of Grimm's fairy tales and learned there that he had a hand in the animation.Janice Floyd Durantenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-72812845037352893602011-09-26T08:25:28.827+01:002011-09-26T08:25:28.827+01:00Hello Olga, your are most welcome.

I used to wear white boots and black and white mini dresses in the 60s, I also had a beehive hair do all held up with pins and hair spray – but I missed out on Union Jack buttons.<br />I’m glad I tried sand boarding but once was enough!barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-67232743504907749362011-09-24T20:33:58.059+01:002011-09-24T20:33:58.059+01:00Congratulations on your award.

When I was little and we had company, their coats had to be locked in a room or I apparently would go in and cut off their buttons. I could also purchase animal cookies with some buttons at the corner grocery (I wished that one still worked) Now I just save them - my prize buttons are Union Jacks from the early 1960s - very mod. <br /><br />You are very brave for even trying out sand boarding. I don't think I would.Alex Baughnoreply@blogger.com
