Sanding buttons
Today I am finishing buttons to chose for the button swap. I made these buttons sometime ago and went on the learn more techniques. The upcoming swap inspired me to finish them. Yesterday I shaped and did the heavy sanding using 220 and 400 wet/dry sandpaper. This morning I finished the sanding with a sequence of sand papers from 800 to 1000 to 2000. Next I'm going outside to spray the sealer on the buttons. I only need to send four, but which ones?

They are *all* gorgeous but I would choose the largest one and the 2nd & 3rd buttons in the leftmost row, and the middle button that looks brownish with dark curlicues. Rest assured; they will be loved no matter what you send!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous designs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the selection details! Sounds just right.
ReplyDeleteThis group of buttons are made from scraps left from previous projects. They polished up better than I expected.
Agree that they're all lovely - but my particular favourites are the four in the right-hand lower corner! So versatile and pretty.
ReplyDeleteAm alas not posting at www.ColdhamCuddliescalling.blogspot.com at the moment - having screwed things up right royally and having to put things right, bit by bit. Hope to back at full speed soon, but meanwhile am dropping by to wish you a Happy Easter.
All the best. Isobel
I really like the ones in the lower right corner. So colorful and pretty!!
