I had a request earlier in the week to try a new button design. I made a batch last night using white clay and then two batches mixing white with brown for a variation of colouring. They will end up being about 10mm. Tiny!
My imitation pebbles have some real promise:
I’m also in the process of creating very small buttons for mittens and children’s items. These should reduce to 12mm after bisque and glaze firings:
The glaze settles into the texture and makes these buttons so appealing. They are time consuming but delightful.
Are there buttons you need for a special project? Contact me through my Etsy Shop to inspire me to create!

Hey there,
I have just been looking at your buttons, and thought of something. If you use 17 gague high temp wire and poke a loop of it into the back of a button, you could glaze both sides by hanging them off of a bead bar, you would just need to make sure that the loop on the back of the button is slightly larger than the bar. as they would be hanging upside down, you may get interresting glaze "drips" on the front side of the button
