ButtonsI started making buttons out of personal need almost 20 years ago. I simply could not find the perfect button for my own sewing projects.
In this category all the buttons are enamel on copper. The sizes range from 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inches. Some are flat with opaque enamels in a wide variety of colors, others are of transparent enamel permitting the underlying texture of the copper to be visible. I am able to make buttons of any color, shape and size as you can see by scrolling down this page. Knitters and sewers like my buttons because because they are unique, beautiful but also because they are very thin and lightweight. They are perfect for sweaters, clothing, purses, accents and as jewelry such as necklaces strung on silk cording (see my necklace page). Please do not hesitate to contact me with any requests and questions.
You are curious about prices, what do my enamel on copper buttons cost. The smallest starts at $8.00 and largest is $30.00 plus. Other than size as a determinant pricing is based on whether the copper has been textured or the finish is the result of the application of multiple colors and treatments.
Please continue scrolling down to learn about my technique and to view a wide selection of my button collection. Hope you enjoy!
