Here is another of my sewing projects of some years back. I stitched it all by hand and decorated it with a variety of coloured beads and small buttons plus a tassle.

These buttons are Opp Shop finds from 2018. They are two piece buttons having a blue plastic base with a silver coloured diamond trim with the loop shank attached.

This silver button features the Yellow Taxi Cab of the 1920’s. It’s detail is very fine. It was made by Stokes and Sons, Melbourne.

This clear glass button has a reverse painted back in black featuring flowers. It is simple in it’s design but quite effective.

This button portrays Fanny Davenport with an umbrella. She was an actress of years gone by. There is a white metal ring showing through the open work border. It measures 2 1/2 cm.

Here is a metal button with a black painted background with a decorative brass trellis and ivy trim. It also has a white metal ring just inside the brass border.

This resin button is surely a bit of fun picturing a realistic Jack in a Box. Wouldn’t it appeal to little children.

These three Ceramic buttons are sewing related and a realistic shape. They are bright and cheery colours and are purely novelty or craft buttons.

Here are three groups of modern plastic buttons that were made in Thailand. They all have some sparkly inclusions in them. I have got them from Opp shops in the last couple of years.

This is a pretty button but does not photograph well. It is of clear glass in the Art Nouveau style with a silver lustre floral pattern.
