Why?
Because I found my grandfather's old button maker.
That, combined with my grandmother's old vintage 1960s magazines, has produced a new craft!
Behold. Buttons.
The challenge to myself is to use the vintage phrases/words from the magazines along with the pictures. It'd be easier--though not as fun--to create my own sayings to match the vintage imagery.
Considering that my desire to do these far outstrips the space I have on any given piece of clothing/purse/whatever to display them, I think I'll put these in my etsy shop, eventually.
Here is a sampling of some other buttons...under the cut.
