Buttons : I made my first buttons !

For the first time in my life I made my own buttons ! Quite an achievement for a button addict....

And for the first time I worked with fimo; it was quite difficult to get it smooth and my fingers had to work hard on it. But when they came out of the oven, I was thrilled. I had 2 colours, a dark and a light blue, and made a mix of those 2. First I made flat buttons with 2 holes, and then I made some shank buttons by putting some of the fimo on top of some old & ugly buttons. I like how they look now. Of course you can see some prints of my fingers, but I will improve that I hope......

    Lovely buttons already! That finger prints and small fuzz was the reason, why I gave up on polymer clay. But I'm quite sure, you're more patient than I. Looking forward to your further creations.
