Button Post

I don't know how to knit, but if I did, I'd put beautiful and original buttons on my scarves, gloves, sweaters, shrugs. Mostly ceramic. My favorite material. With these lovely buttons from uniquebuttons on etsy, I can combine my love for natural history and ceramics. My plan? Change all the buttons on my store-bought sweaters next winter.

Thanks to P8, I'm discovering so many artists who make buttons from all types of materials; check out her blog for more button stories!

Button Thursday

I've discovered more fabulous buttons on etsy this week. These amazing handmade buttons are by buttonsbyrobin. She uses various materials such as resin, glass, ceramic, wood and more.

I'm partial to her bird buttons, not only because I love birds, but because of the uniqueness of these buttons. Little works of art. Perfect for mixed media artists, seamstresses, jewelry designers, knitters.

Her round buttons feature original images and are more suited to sewing projects where they will be used to close a garment, but the possibilities are still endless, and could be used in many different projects.

I hope you visit her shop, I know I'll be going back.
