my pretty bookmark!


I'll use anything for a bookmark, flyers, reciepts, international treaties etc. so I thought if i made myself a nice one it'd encourage me to actually use it.


Books here I come...

woohoo! The dog button broach lives!!


I cut off a little bit of chain and used it to attach the button to the broach. Then I folded a foil sweet wrapper to use to back the letters so they would fit, stuck the letters and foil on and voila! a little dog broach to show off my adorable puppy!

Of course now I have to make one for my other dog so she doesn't feel left out. Damn, a buttoners work is never done...

I'm trying to make it into a broach. I have these blank broach attachments somewhere in my room. but i want to embellish it somehow, i really wanted to put his name (the dogs- Milo) in beads but its just slightly too big. I'll update when I make up my mind!

It's a bit on the random side in what you get but I go here:

I just ordered a small tub-90 or so pieces-of watch parts from them this morning.Don't know what it'll be like,and it's the first time I've bought from this site.But I figured if another craftster reccomended them,I could give it a whirl.The website is definitely worth a look.Hope that helps.

Great website Bookstorebabe! Ive been wanting to use gears and stuff for a while but couldnt find any. This looks promising...

very nice ammasmama! I like the rectangular ones best myself, theyre so irregular and cool. I cant wait to see something like this in resin!

I bought this jar a while ago of loads of beads and buttons and this button was so cute I had to use it for something...


so I ripped out the gem (this ugly green thingy) and put in one of those tiny pictures from the sheet of em that you get when you send a bunch of photos to be developed.


Sorry 'bout the crappy pics, my camera is being senile and refusing to focus

***EDIT TIME!***I made my button into a broach!

I really like how it turned out, I cant stop wearing it!!

Ack...ach! *choking self with envy*

I love horses, but I never really got them when it came to drawing, I looove yours, they are amazing.

Gasp! very cool! Very Eeeeevil... *Doctor Evil stance*

ooo lovely, I can find it really hard make myself sit down and look at all the creases and detail in things, but that looks great!!
Well done!

O thank all the gods of crafting!

My freind has recently gotten obsessed with squid plushies (i don't think even she knows why...) and ive been trying to find a pattern I could do; the tentacles were the part that tripped me up, she wants a small and cute one so the tentacles have to be even smaller. but using socks? ready made tubes just waiting to become tentacles!
Thank yooouuuu...
