New obsession - fabricating pin back buttons with the badge making machine.
It's so cool. You assemble all the pieces and then mash them together with the little machine.
I went into Photoshop and reworked pictures of my old bird paintings into a tiny, round formats. Then cut, stack, whack, turn and re-whack. Viola! bird buttons.
My button maker came from Dr. Dons Buttons, Badges and Magnets. http://www.buttonsonline.com/
I have this model: http://www.buttonsonline.com/machines.html
It's a serious little hand-operated machine. Probably more than most people would need, but I am in charge of buttons for my husband's indie record store and we go through a lot of buttons.

Ohhhhhhh love 'em! And the bug bead too!
So great! What size are they?
Nancy - they are an inch and a half in diameter. Wanna come over and make some?
This is cool Lucinda. I need to make buttons myself. Did you buy this machine?
