Button, button

Great ideas..and reasons to buy a few more buttons! My employer buys the
nicest buttons I've ever seen. I sold some to a lady yesterday that were
faceted black glass with gilded edges. I hope there are some left tomorrow,
we're allowed to make our staff purchases first thing in the morning, so I
couldn't buy any yesterday, but will snatch them off the shelf first thing
tomorrow!

They are great with beads. As focals, as accents, and as clasps.

And what are you going to make with them Marisa?

Or is it one of those addictions where you just hoard them and fondle
them
periodically? ;o)

*chortle* Quite a variety. The ones I bought yesterday were a leaf shaped,
pewter coloured metal, with brown matte enamelling. I like metal, glass I
even like some of the plastic ones if they are an unusual shape, colour,
texture. Shank buttons seem to draw me the most..no holes to interfere with
the design and I can see a meriad of uses for them in conjunction with
beaded jewelry.

Do they by any chance have Paua buttons? Not a advertisement plug,
I am really interested. lol

Yes, "they" do-- carved paua flowers, paua and MOP mosaic disks, triangles with
a black "slash" accross them. All with two holes. (Thase are the ones at the
shop where I work).

another of my favorite button things to do is make molds with them, then make
beads from the molds using polymer clay.
There's an article about it in the current Belle Armoire magazine.

I like making molds and making silver (PMC) buttons from them.

Ooo, I'll check them out for sure and certain. They might be just the thing
to round out an order!

I really do hate to tempt you, Marisa, but...

I have three styles of shank buttons listed now in the TierraCast section.
In antiqued silver and antiqued gold. Just thought you'd like to know...

In addition they have the most fabulous
buttons I've ever seen. Some of the ones I've purchased were in the $10
each range. Pretty buttons are well worth it, IMO.

strange coincidences -- last Monday I started making Buttons again.
(two are listed on Justbeads)
and I made this glass, lampwork set with copper loop shanks LAST NIGHT

Thanks - I used enamel to highlight the peach and the plum both.

They are fun - I think I'm going to go on a button making spree... LOL
