METALIZED PLASTIC BUTTON

This metalized plastic button is quite different having an insect depicted on it. It has “Made in China” printed on the top. I do not know anything about it or what it represents and have just obtained it.

BLACK GLASS BUTTON

My friend Suzanne gave me this button recently. It is of black glass and has a Chinese symbol in gold lustre featured on it. It measures just over 2 cm and has a self shank.

GLASS BUTTON

I have just acquired this brown glass button depicting a koala in gold lustre (which is quite worn) I think this design button was made in several different colours.

BLACK GLASS BUTTON

This black glass button is in the shape of a box which is quite different. It is decorated with circles of silver lustre. I guess it might be from the 1930’s – 40’s.

WOODEN BUTTON

I have just acquired this button being a gift from my friend Suzanne. It features a yacht in sail and has a rope like border. It was rather worn so I rubbed some brown nugget into it.

WINDOW BUTTONS

I have just recently bought these window buttons in their packet in an opp shop in Tatura. They were made especially to put a photo, material or the likes into the base and then snap in the clear plastic top. I did some zentangle designs on paper for them and they came up quite nicely.

NOVELTY BUTTON

My friend Jackie just gave me this button yesterday. It is of resin and is a realistic bear in a traditional Scotch kilt and tam-o-shanter. Jackie was a highland dancer so this means a lot to her and I was thrilled to get it. It is really cute and a bit of fun.

MORE OPP SHOP FINDS

Here are four different coloured buttons of the same flower like design. I got them in an opp shop in 2018. They are of some type of plastic. (Maybe acrylic!!)

PLASTIC BUTTON

This button is of yellow plastic and has three large flowers rather crudely painted on it. I wonder if someone has just tried to paint it at home. It is bright and colourful anyway.

FABRIC COVERED BUTTON

I think this fabric covered button is real cute. It shows a couple of Japanese Geisha girl dolls in nice colours. It measures just under 3 cm.
