I made curling rocks from buttons!  oh yeah.  The red look better, but I think that’s because I didn’t have to paint the top buttons red as I did with the yellow.  Too bad I ran out of (painted) yellow and red buttons!

I’ve finally hopped on the button bouquet and marble magnets train headed for Nowheresville. The button bouquet turned out well, but I dunno, I guess my half marbles aren’t as clear as most peoples, or my magazines aren’t as good?
