Buttons!

Freshly baked from polymer clay

The skewered one is a hand sculpted mushroom. The rest are from molds.

I used jump rings for shanks this time. The others have holes.

Making Buttons…

like crazy this holiday weekend!

I’m making shanks from copper wire using bailing pliers.

The yellow molds I made myself. The others are commercial. The little mushrooms and courage bear are hand sculpted.

These flowers will need to be trimmed down before becoming buttons. I’ll also highlight the details with mica powder before baking.
