A stones throw to metalsmithing

Today I opened the 4lb bag of buttons a bought on ebay, wow.

many great buttons, many large buttons, many stand alone buttons, many many many buttons.

so after all I will have to get out all of that metals studio equipment sooner rather than later and somewhere find lots of extra hours in the day to start fabricating some wearable buttons.

Some ideas take longer than others and lucky for me making posy pins keeps the hands busy so the mind can wander.

All of this button stuff has piqued my interest in button history. I'll have to do a little research just for fun.
