I bought these wooden craft buttons at a local patchwork shop in 2011. I loved their natural handmade look. I guess they are cut by laser as they are very fine and painted in a pleasing way. They are Theodora Cleave designs by the founder Barbara Smith. She was a woodcutter’s daughter and her grandmother was Theodora Cleave. I do not know where she is from. They are quality buttons with a very good look about them and would make a nice addition to a quilt or embroidery project.
