Buttons

[Black Hills]

Do any of you lovely crafters make really nice buttons. I have a new wool shop in Henley on Thames that sells rare and unusual yarns from around the world and UK and am looking for something different in the button world.

Sarah (Blooming Felt) stocks a fantastic range of buttons, I think she is on holiday just now but she is a forum member (and a lovely lady too!)

I will get back to you on this one, I am part of folksy, where people can only sell handmade items, I know I have seen a shop where someone makes really unique buttons so I will go on a hunt for you and pass on shop/contact details.

I have recently been making stitch/row counters, though still hunting for more appropriate rings for larger knitting needles.

They are made from polymar clay and currently have designs for cupcakes, dounuts, sheep, pigs, chicks. Unfortunatly I am unable to take pictures of them as my camera is not to good and comes out blury when doing close up of small images.

If you are interested I can send samples.
