A few more buttons

A few more buttons; some are made with my own glazes.


A bit of abstract

I love abstract work and have had a go at making abstract buttons. My own handmade glazes have been used to give a water colour effect on these buttons.











Hootie Tootie Buttons

We made lots and lots of Hootie Tootie buttons; these ones turned out well, but quite a lot of them turned out so badly that they did not deserve a picture (poor Hootie Tooties).
Two medium sized brown Hootie Tootie buttons
Four pretty coloured small Hootie Tootie buttons
Three lovely green/blue small Hootie Tootie buttons
Two sweet little reddish Hootie Tootie buttons
One lonely Hootie Tootie button
Two cute little Hootie Tootie buttons




Little Chickies

Some of the Little Chickie buttons we have made.  I'm pleased with these Chickie buttons, like the size, shape, design and the colours.

Ceramic Buttons

Our attempt a making ceramic buttons. It is difficult to see what the end result will be as the glaze looks so different before it has been in the kiln. These are not particularly good photo's, but give an idea of how different the buttons are before the kiln cycle.
