Vintage Inspiration :)
I find vintage images to be so inspiring! Like for example these little cards that Bill found somewhere. Aren't they cute? I just wanted to share them with you today :)
I also wanted to show you the buttons that the little vintage cards inspired me to make out of polymer clay. Polymer clay is another great material for making buttons :)
And here are some inspiring links for you:
Amazing vintage cloth dolls from Gretchen's collection.
Beautiful vintage images from books etc.
You will loooove this one, so many sets to look at!
Kokeshi dolls.
See you tomorrow!

Those buttons should come with a warning: Do Not Eat. These are NOT Delicious CANDY.

Great buttons! I've never thought of making any, but now I see what a great idea that would be.

¡Qué lindas cosas hacés!
¿Es un material difícil de trabajar? ¿Lleva mucho tiempo para hacer unos botones?
Tenés que ver qué lindos botones que hace esta chica Lisa Clarke.

The buttons are wonderful and so are the vintage cards. I really like how you used the colors from the cards in the buttons The one red and white button with the green "collar" reminds me of the poodle's green and red ruffled collar!

Love the cards, my favorites are the lion and the stork. I absolutely adore the buttons, inspired me to pick up some Sculpy this afternoon.

I love your vintage images. And the buttons are super cute. My daughter dabbles in polymer clay and made some buttons for me. I haven't used them yet, but I like looking at them.
