There was a link on how to make buttons using paper and card - basically you cut out lots of circles and glue them together in a stack. It would take me too long to do that as I don't have a circle punch so I decided to have a go with polymer clay.
I have cut out and baked a dozen or so, so I should be able to make the minimum 3 required shouldn't I?
As it's raining today - in biblical amounts - I have taken the opportunity to practice painting some. You would think that it would be easy doing a little button wouldn't you - but with my big bent fingers I now realise that it's not as easy as I thought.
This is the first one at the just painted stage.
This is a Big enlargement - the actual size is the size of a 10p piece!
It'll take ages to dry before I can varnish it - but I am determined to not touch it until tomorrow or I am bound to mess it up!
The 'red' edging on the right of the button is a reflection from the material. I need to do the edges when the top and back are totally dry!

Absolutely gorgeous! Poppies are my favourite flower so this definitely talks to me.
Stunning poppy button Lottie.
I hope you don't feel tempted to touch it before it is totally dry, looking forward to seeing it all varnished and finished.

That looks gorgeous, Lottie! I hope finishing it works out well, and I look forward to seeing it again then.
This is really lovely Lottie - I have all sorts of poppies in my garden his year, from huge 4 ft high "pom-pom" frilly ones to tiny ittle ragged singe ones, and I absolutely love them all xxx
It's stunning.I love the vibrant colour.
You sound like me - the times I've messed something up because I'm impatient to get to the next stage! Fab button, fiddly painting job well worth the effort!
