I am so excited, I won some of those beautiful little buttons!! Aren't they just the cutest .....
Barb, over at Bejeweled quilts had a give away!! And now go check out the Button page at - Button Mad, they are giving away penguin buttons!
I can think of a lot of places I can use them......wont' they just add the finishing touches to my little handbags....or on a wall hanging or fibre art? Maybe along the edge of a fabric bowl?
I have mentioned them before, but would like to tell you a bit more about them. The are all hand made by women in South Africa. This is some information from their website: Incomparable Buttons. There is lots more about them on the webpage, but this tells you about the buttons. There is a whole catalogue and they ship worldwide. I gotta get me some more of these : )

"Each button and craft piece is made and painted entirely by hand. Every button, once made is dried outside in the warm South African sun then fired to a bisque and hand painted. At this stage they are taken through a 24 hour firing to the hottest temperature the colours will withstand so as to ensure their complete durability and extreme hardiness.
Incomparable buttons are fully washable and dry cleanable. This is a first for ceramic buttons and offers sewers, knitters, crafters and clothing manufacturers a great new alternative to plastic. With embellishment becoming ever more popular, the buttons are also perfect for quilters and cross stitchers who are looking to add a unique finishing touch to their projects - as well as for many many different craft applications." (from Incomparable Buttons)
Congratulations - they are popping up everywhere - Quilting Gallery even has a give away. They are the most adorable and unique buttons I have seen in a long time.

ReplyDeleteI think this might be the week to buy a lottery ticket!!
Isn't it fun to win something? I can't imagine a better person to win those cute buttons! I ordered 5 pounds of vintage creamy white buttons so I could put them in a jar on the spool cabinet. They came a couple of days ago (there will be pictures). I had no idea how many buttons 5 pounds would be...I could fill a couple of jars easily! Now I need to find an easy crafty thing to do with some of these...something for the person with no skills!
