freebie!
Yes! thats right, these lovely buttons are free, are you interested?
They are buttons with shanks, so really not too good for me!
They are also on my Flickr stream, so I hope to get rid of them! They are lovely, but I have no use for them, so I need to find a new home for them!
Let me know why they would be good for you!

I could probably make great use of these! I’ve been looking at your work and a couple of other people’s who make interesting use of buttons and such and been thinking about adding this to my embroidery.
I’d even be happy to do a trade. I have some gorgeous varigated wool yarn that I’m never going to use!

Yeah! I got the buttons last night — they’re beautiful! I already have an idea of what to do with the watery blue ones.
Thanks so much! I’m going to pass along the love and offer up a freebie of my own to people. I have a great deal of Toile fabric that I can’t actually use. It’s all lovely, but it doesn’t work with how I use Toile.
I’ll scan some and post it!
Thanks again!

[…] This isn’t specifically Judaica, but the inspiration was. I received these beautiful buttons from Raspberry and immediately saw the blue ones as pools of water, which lead me to the well of Miriam. For this one, it’s not specifically the well of Miriam, but rather the moon reflecting on the water. It’s a bit abstract, and I’m not quite sure it worked. I created this as part of the 6×4 challenge group on Flickr. Like the mezuzah it’s just a size constraint, but it gives me a little more room to work than a tiny mezuzah! As the button that inspired this was a gift, I think I may gift this back to her. Hey — what a great way to find new supplies! If you have an interesting button or whatknot send it my way. If it inspires me, I’ll send back whatever I make from it! Technorati Tags: embroidery, experiment, moon, water, fiber art, buttons, bead […]
