BUTTONS, BUTTONS, BUTTONS...
This morning I discovered that Juju blogged about Laura Walker's handmade buttons, and I decided to do a Button Theme Post! Laura's Buttons, made of porcelain, are available on ETSY!
I am a huge fan of Elsita's artwork, and she also recently did a post on her own handmade buttons made of 'Shrink Plastic'! Her whimsical drawings and designs translate beautifully in this medium! 
I found these handpainted buttons on re:make, hard to resist names like 'The Enchanted Forest' and 'A Clover And Two Ladybugs'!
Melissa Becker has a wonderful line of buttons that remind me of old pewter buttons from yesterday... 
KupKup has delightful 'Petit Patisserie' felt buttons for sale! They look so delicious, how could you resist? 
Mudcakes presses lace and other textures into her buttons - making them feel airy and romantic!
I'm in love with these OctopusMe Buttons! Who couldn't use a few extra appendages on their shirt???
Want to make your own beaded buttons? Here is a link to a Workshop where you can make your own...! Anyone else care to jump on the Button BandWagon with me???
Ulla, all these buttons are so terrific! made me get out my jars of buttons and PLAY!!! They just sit there in mason jars.

I love handmade buttons. I have a gorgeous set on a Jean Muir Jacket, all hand painted.

Beautiful, Ulla...I especially like Laura Walker's buttons. Her themes and use of color are striking. I've joined your "Button Brigade" on my blog.

Oooh...little treasures! KupKup's buttons are so sweet and really do look like little patisseries. And those OctopusMe buttons are wonderfully organic, aren't they.

Nice buttons! How did you get such close-up pictures? I've been frustrated with the macro setting on my camera lately especially when trying to photograph little buttons! Would you please share what kind of camera and lens you're using?

Thanks for sharing these Ulla.
