Here is a Micro Mosaic button. It is very colourful and has a floral design. It amazes me how they make these buttons with such tiny pieces of glass. They are very effective.

These Ceramic buttons are by Incomparable Buttons from South Africa. They are made by the village ladies and the money from proceeds goes back to the village which is very good. They are always mounted on corrugated cardboard which compliments the hand made buttons. These two are quite large and rather unique.

Here is a modern plastic button with an ” eye like ” pattern in the centre. It is a sew through type and measures 3 1/4cm so is quite large. It would be used on an overcoat I presume.

These four buttons are handmade Ceramic and really do have a rustic handmade look about them They have even been sewn onto the card with homespun wool which gives a good effect. I don’t know who they were made by and got them at an opp shop.

Here are two black glass buttons. One has a flower in the centre with silver lustre. The other has a scrolly pattern. I don’t seem to be able to get a good photo of black glass which is a pity as there are some very lovely buttons. They always seem to be blurry.

Here are three Plastic ( I believe they are Casein ) buttons in red and white. They all have a geometric design and are rather jazzy. I think they are from the 1940’s.
