You Guessed It – More Buttons

Yep, more. I’m getting tired of making them too.

I used raku murrini on the tops of these. I made them myself, that’s why they don’t look that great. I need a lot of practice on making canes out of glass.

Even though I’m not fond of green, someone might be so I made these set.

More frit buttons. I wanted these to be purple but they turned out really pink. Need to look for some purple frit.

A couple of two holed buttons. Still have to make more of these. Might work on something different tonight. Maybe more kitties…..

More Buttons

Still working on buttons for my cousin’s quilt show. I was able to make some sets and do a few experimental ones that I probably won’t be making more of.

Okay, they aren’t all the same size. I do these without any measuring device so I have to eyeball everything.

I made some with the same colored frit before but on these I put a layer of white on the back. Makes the colors really pop.

Another set of frit buttons.

These are the experimental ones. I like the murrini ones but they are too hard to make. The other pod looking one is just hideous.

More Buttons And Pin Cushions

Here’s another set of buttons.

Trying to come up with some new designs for the buttons. The ladybug button was a totally disaster. Poor thing got squished. No one wants to see a smashed ladybug. It’s not pretty.

Three more pin cushions. The button on the left one if a new one too. I didn’t want to make a bunch and find out they look terrible. It has a big ball of glass on the top. I’ll be making more of these in different colors.

Buttons, Pins Cushions and Beads….

I’ve been bouncing around finishing up a lot of things this weekend. I’m still working on more beads and buttons for my cousin’s quilt show. Here are a few more.

Shank style buttons with a cherry design on them. They kind of look old-fashion to me.

Kitties!! That one on the end has a flat head. He kind of looks like Iggy with the fat cheeks.

My mom’s quilting teacher gave her a little pin cushion. It’s really cute. She got the pattern and is going to make me some to sell at the craft show. Here’s the first few.
