Mannie and I embarked on creating studio buttons for button collectors.  A friend of ours had asked us to do some samples to take to a button collector' meeting where they were well received and even sold.  So in our time Mannie and I created sets of studio buttons.  Me, I created a series around roses -wild, tea, bud, red, white, pink and yellow.  Mannie embellished material with beading, etc to produce her fabric art studio buttons. Base button is metal snap together with shank. These are 1" wooden buttons with added shank and signature. The images are first burnt onto the button then painted with fluid acrylic paints.

I broke away from the other art work to try my hand at small wooden buttons.  I burnt the buttons and then painted.  Not sure about the results.  Comments? This is about the actual size of the buttons.  The burning, despite the thinness of the burning blade, still looked a tad heavy.
