Hi Cyntia, I have three links, but I have never ordered anything:

In addition to jewelry, I make custom buttons, both with holes and with shanks, any diameter. I don't have any samples on my webpage, but if you're interested, you can get an idea by poking around the site. Because I work in polymer clay (a pigmented clay that mixes like artist's oils) I can do an unlimited number of colors or multi-color patterns, as you can see from the images on any of my website pages that features polymer clay, for example

Georgia, you do beautiful work. I have marked your site. I love unusual buttons. DA

Thanks, DA. When my NYCO becomes a FO (round about September at the rate I'm proceeding), it'll be a cardigan vest, and I'll be making a handful of buttons for it.

Wow, Georgia, your work is gorgeous! I have saved your URL to my favorites. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Gemini. I try to update the site about once a month.

Georgia

Thank you Georgia. You do beautiful work. And thank you to all the respondents. I am traveling for business to Lancaster, PA today and hope to do a little shopping. I hope to poke around at some antique shops, sewing shops, etc. I've bookmarked your site because it sounds like you can make me anything! Thanks again. Cynthia

You've given me a great idea, to make my own buttons for at least one of the cardigan sweaters I have in mind to make this year. We have a couple of trees on our property, and a couple of branches have to be trimmed, and I'm thinking they are round or nearly all round, and I could trim the branches, then cut them equal thickness, then use our Dremel to drill 2-4 holes in them to make unique buttons. There should be no sap in the dead branches, so they should already be cured. You could do the same with dowel rods purchased from the store, as those are already completely dried, and they carry hard woods like oak, birch, and ash, depending on which hardware store you go to.

Have fun shopping! I've just got done organizing my crafts materials, and came across some Beatrix Potter buttons. No idea where I got them, or what I'll put them on, but it'll be awesome whenever it happens!

Georgia

That's always neat to come across something you didn't realize you had. Found treasures! :o)
